This
historic and beautiful theatrical facility was built by
one of Eastland's founding fathers, C.U. Connelle, in
1920 and was originally called the Connellee Theatre.
The Connellee featured films and stage shows; Gene Autry
and his horse, Champion, made their appearance
and live
radio programs were broadcast every Saturday. Beauty
contests were held regularly, as well as operas. The
building was closed, remodeled and reopened by
Interstate Theatres on February 13, 1947 as the Majestic
Theatre. Interstate Theatres closed the Majestic in
1986.
In 1987, Eastland citizens undertook a huge community
project; the renovation and reopening of the Majestic as
Eastland's civic center. Today's audiences enjoy the
beautiful art deco style and western decor as audiences
did long ago. The Majestic features current hit films
each Friday through Monday; schedules classic films,
concerts, conventions, school and religious events and
touring stage shows for children and adults. The
building also features a State of Texas historical
marker. The Theater is currently operated and managed by
the Fine Arts Community
Association
of Eastland.
Tours are available on request
at 254-629-2102.
