Information for this tour was contributed by Chet Cuccia. In the 1960s, it was struck by lightning and rebuilt. Years later, the roof of the new theatre collapsed and it was closed down for good. Now there is a supermarket called H.E.B. Pantry on the very spot where the Village Theatre used to be.
An article in the 8/6/1968 edition of the Kilgore News Herald reported that Jefferson Amusments and East Texas Theatres Inc had sold their operations to Golden Triangle Theatres Inc. The same article indicated that all theaters owned by Golden Triangle would be operated by Gulf States Theatres. Photos
