Sad to see the condition of the ZIA in the picture posted by ken mc.
Each time we lose one of these old treasures, a little bit of Americana is gone that we will never be able to replace.
The TYLER THEATER is (was??) a very large theater. The marquee and main entance were on the east side of the building. Here is my photo its vertical sign that was located on the northeast corner of the building. A small part of the LIBERTY can be seen in the lower left of the photo.

It is one of my favorites, is it still standing?
I like my picture better.
This theater is obviously not a 1930s building. Anyone out there know of another Circle Theater in Dallas.
Here is my image of the CIRCLE THEATER.

Thanks to dannyh for the correction that this drive in is actually the “FORT WORTH TWIN” rather than the TWIN TOWERS.
The two screens face each other. Here is my image of the west screen as of 1/21/07.
