Dallas’ Texas
Theatre reopens
DALLAS (AP) — After three
years of darkness, the screen at
Texas’ most infamous movie
house will come alive again
this week.
And the new owners of the
Texas Theatre in the Oak Cliff
section of Dallas hope to capital
ize on the theater’s defining mo
ment, which came on a Friday af
ternoon in November more than
30 years ago.
Tour buses still make stops at
the vintage movie house, where
the lobby resembles a museum
showcasing the place where police
tracked down Lee Harvey Oswald
and arrested him for shooting
President Kennedy Nov. 22, 1963.
The walls support glass cases
containing newspaper headlines
about Oswald’s arrest, maps of
his reported escape route and
conspiracy-theory posters.
Several citizens were chas
ing Oswald down a street near
the theater after the body of a
Dallas police officer was found
beside his police car.
Oswald was then spotted
running into the theater. He
was arrested a few minutes lat
er after a dozens of officers sur
rounded the building.
Inside the 63-year-old the
ater, Oswald’s name and the in
famous date are painted in
white block letters on the seat
where he took in a matinee af
ter the assassination.
But one owner, Ron Dubois,
doesn’t believe the building’s his
tory will sell many tickets.
“I don’t think most people that
come to the movies will even
know about that,” he said.
Even so, Dubois said the the
ater holds a special place in his
heart.
His grandmother took him
there when he was a boy to see
“Gone With The Wind” and “The
Wizard of Oz.”
It was his brother who got the
project going when he heard that
United Artists Co. planned to tear
down the movie house that
opened April 21, 1931, and once
was owned by Howard Hughes.
The Texas Theatre Historical So
ciety stopped showing movies at
the theater in February 1992.

Crime: Program needs student cooperation

number of years ago for information concerning
a student that was assaulted. The majority of
those funds are still intact, and there are impli
cations we’ll get access to them when CrimeStop-
pers begins.”
Higley said fund raisers would be needed
throughout the future to continue the campus
program.
The Student Senate called for the start of a
campus program in December 1993 to run under
the guidance of Brazos Valley CrimeStoppers.
Through the program, students will be able to
call CrimeStoppers and give information about a
crime without revealing their identities.
If an arrest is made, students could receive a
reward ranging from $25 to $1,000, depending
on the nature of the crime, the quality of the in
formation and the risk to the individual.
Brooke Leslie, student body president, said stu
dents want the opportunity to anonymously pro
vide information about crimes.
“Many people aren’t so concerned with re
wards as having an anonymous way to report
crimes,” Leslie said. “No one wants to be labeled
a snitch.”
Leslie said the program will deal mainly with
misdemeanor crimes, although any crime could
be reported.
“Bike thefts and backpack thefts are the
biggest problems,” Leslie said. “Our jurisdic
tion will be misdemeanors, but the campus
CrimeStoppers will be designed to address big
ger problems as well.”
Higley said that although the campus pro
gram will welcome any calls, felonies will be for
warded to the county program.
“Standard procedure will probably be to refer
some crimes, such as rape, to the Brazos Valley
CrimeStoppers,” Higley said. “They’re probably
more equipped to handle them than we’ll be.”
