When the Arcadia opened in 1927, no one could have guessed the incarnations that would inhabit it for the next eight decades. It was, first and foremost, a movie house. At first playing only silent movies, the Arcadia showed its earliest “talkie” in 1930 or 1931 after a Vitaphone sound system was installed. Admission was 10 cents, and for that, theatergoers could sit in the Arcadia all afternoon, watching the films run as many times as they liked. At the time, Greenville Avenue was known as Highway 75, and it was a major Dallas thoroughfare.

In December 1940, a three-alarm blaze ignited inside the Arcadia and caused $175,000 in damages. A movie is showing at the time, but the theater is evacuated in “an orderly manner” and some patrons even fight the fire with extinguishers until fireman arrive on the scene. Ultimately, the ceiling partially collapses, and four firemen are hurt, though none seriously. It reopened in April 1941 after several months of rebuilding.
In November 1958 the Arcadia burned again — this time it’s a five-alarm fire and is the third multiple-alarm blaze in Dallas in as many days. Luckily, the theater is empty when the fire breaks out. It causes $75,000 in damage and closes the Arcadia again. It reopened in April 1959 with new projection equipment.
From 1974-1982, the Arcadia showed Spanish-only films, and later it became a concert venue. Sometime in the mid-1990s, the theater closed as a live-music venue and later reopened as a nightclub

June 21, 2006, the first day of summer, the old Arcadia theater was again ablaze. The theater had pulled through two damaging fires in its 80 years. The third would prove to be its ruin. Next door at Nuevo Leon restaurant, fire investigators theorized, the fire ignited, and in less than two hours, 80 years of history came crashing down.
