Relevant news from the April 4, 1947 issue of Film Daily:

“Rebuild Texas Stand

“Texarkana, Tex. — C. C. Bounds and his son Leo, partners with Joy Houck in the operation of the Princess here, have announced plans for the complete re-building of the house. The theater was totally destroyed about a month ago by fire which also resulted in the death of one patron.”

217 Pine Street is the address of the Leo Theatre, which opened in 1948 to replace a theater that burned down in early 1947. That burned theater must have been the Princess.

Incidentally, the address 217 Pine Street is on the Texas side of the Texas-Arkansas state line, which bisects downtown Texarkana.
