Opened on December 31, 1947.
Closed as a movie theater in 1989, acquired by the town in December 1994. It housed 650 seats.
The Sabine Theatre is most likely the 1947 project at Many for the Southern Amusement Company that is found in this list of drawings by Lake Charles, Louisiana, architect John M. Gabriel.
Earlier that year Gabriel had designed a theater in the town of Welsh, Louisiana, for a Mr. J.V. O'Quinn, but I haven’t been able to discover its name. The theater at Welsh is not yet listed at Cinema Treasures.
This theater was in “downtown” scenes in the movie The Man in The Moon.
A nice 2007 exterior photo here.
