| | The Majestic Theatre, San Antonio, Texas |
 | | On December 31, 1974, changing entertainment habits forced the Majestic Theatre to close its doors "forever." The next year, the theatre was listed on the National Register of Historical Places, and in 1976 was donated by the Hoblitzelle interests to the newly formed Majestic Foundation. |
 | | This expansion was completed in the fall of 1996, giving the Majestic a new 40 foot-deep stage, modernized theatrical rigging, a state-of-the-art orchestra shell, expanded dressing room facilities, and enlarged storage space, allowing the Majestic Theatre to continue to meet the changing needs of symphonic and theatrical productions. |
 | | June 14, 1929 drew excited crowds to Houston Street for the theatre's grand opening presentation of "Fox Movietone Follies of 1929." The Majestic was the second largest theatre in the country. |
