Launched under the name Cole’s Theatre on August 10, 1925 with Betty Compson in “The Female.” Operator Mart Cole switched the theater to sound full-time on February 1, 1930. Became part of the Jefferson Amusement Company Circuit when the Mart Cole Circuit was purchased in October of 1936.

More information: The Cole opened in 1929, and was owned by Mart Cole, who eventually owned a chain of theatres in South Central Texas. It seated 700, and featured Spanish murals, which still exist. More information in this article: http://www.vbmonline.com/features/999-40.html
