Grand Old Texas Theaters that Won't Quit, by Joan Upton Hall and Stacey
Hasbrook ($18.95, Republic of Texas Press, xii+284 pages, softbound), is
the product of years of research in which the authors combed the state to
locate the best of the remaining historical theaters, from Dalhart's La Ri-
ta to Terlingua's Starlight, El Paso's Plaza, and Texarkana's Perot, from
the days when traveling shows first brought "culture" to the outlying areas
to the heydays of the 192os and 1930s. Some, like Abilene's Paramount
and Galveston's Grand Opera House have been lovingly restored and are
venues for live performances as well as movies, while the remains of oth-
ers, like the Royal in Archer City, made famous in Larry McMurtry's The
Last Picture Show, sit as a vivid reminder to days gone by.
This reissue of Black Victory: The Rise and Fall of the White Primary in Texas
($34.95, University of Missouri Press, x+283 pages, hardbound), by Dar-
lene Clark Hine, which was reviewed in the April 1981, issue of the Quar-
terly, contains new essays by Hine, Steven F. Lawson, and Merline Pitre. In
the original study, Hine examined the breakthrough in the struggle for
civil rights represented in the 1944 U.S. Supreme Court Smith v. All-
wright decision. Lawson's and Pitre's essays reflect upon the significance
of the original study and its importance in civil rights history.
The University of Oklahoma Press has just issued a revised edition of
William H. Leckie's best-selling classic, The Buffalo Soldiers: A Narrative of
the Black Cavalry in the West, which was first published in 1967. Co-authored
by Shirley A. Leckie, this edition ($29.95, 336 pages, hardcover) expands
upon the study that was one of the first to recognize the importance of the
African American troops in the history of the American West and ponders
the meaning of being African American in nineteenth-century America
and upon the personal stories of the soldiers of the Ninth and Tenth Cav-
alry regiments. In a new epilogue, the authors discuss contemporary ef-
forts to memorialize the soldiers in film, art, and architecture.2003
