Paramount Theatre (Abilene, Texas)
The Paramount Theatre is located in downtown Abilene, Texas at 352 Cypress Street. The Paramount was built in 1930 by H. O. Wooten, adjacent to his Hotel Wooten. Opening night was May 19, 1930, with the film, ''Safety in Numbers'' starring Carole Lombard. On February 12, 1931, Universal Pictures selected the Abilene Paramount, along with a few others in the Interstate Theatre chain, to exhibit the 1931 horror classic ''Dracula'', a full two days before its Valentine's Day premiere.
