The May 17, 1930 issue of The Billboard said that the Metairie Theater at Metairie Road and Frisco Avenue had opened under the management of C. E. Strauss and H. A. Johnson.

The July 13, 1937 Film Daily noted the change of ownership and name: “United Theaters Add One

“New Orleans— United Theaters will open the newest addition to its subsequent run neighborhood circuit here tomorrow when it starts the Metairie, rechristened the Metry. Theater, which has been a hard operating proposition, was taken over from a corporation headed by Alex Dumeste, Jefferson Parish (county) lawyer, who has been retained as manager.”
