Recently found a jewel…a picture of the Port Theater, circa 1959 in Jacinto City, Tx. There is where I grew up in the late 40s, early 50s! Still looking for a pic of the Galena Theater in Galena Park, Tx. These along with a few others were owned by O.K. Theatre Enterprises in Dallas, Tx. Oskar Korn was president; Albert Rains, booker. I tried to trace the O.K. Korn family through my limited online sites but no luck. Anyone out there have anything to add?? Theaters listed were: Lisbon [Dallas]; Midway, Galena [Galena Park]; Avalon, Globe, Grand, Hi Nabor Drive In; Lindale; Port [Jacinto City; Venus [Denver Harbor. Regards. Jeff Brant, Seabrook Tx 77586

In later years this theater was known as the RX-70. I believe it had something to do with being remodeled in the 70’s. The current owner said everything inside had been removed.
