This Facebook post from the Frisco Parks and Recreation Department indicates that the second Frisco Theatre was a reopening of the 1922 Queen Theatre. The house later changed names again, first to the Gem and finally to the Rio. This page and the page for the Rio (aka Gem) can be consolidated on the Queen’s page, which was the earliest posted for Frisco. The first Frisco was on the same lot as its successors, but was housed in a different building that was lost to a 1922 fire.

The July 7, 1935 Film Daily ran this notice: “Frisco, Tex.—T. J. Farrington has opened the Frisco theater, a new house seating 200.”

There are two Frisco Theatres in Frisco, with the other one operating for a short time during World War I.
