1917 - 1956 Queen Theater ads

Here's a selection of ads which seem to be the only things in existence to tell us that Brownsville, Texas once had a Queen Theater downtown.  Very few photos of it are known to exist and fewer memories have been shared since it disappeared long before most Bronsbil Estacion readers were born.  Our next post will give an overview of the history with a few photos to help understand where it was and a few glimpses from images collected over the years for a history of theaters and drive-ins of Brownsville, Texas.
