The Rose Marine Theater became the Latino entertainment hub for Mexican cinema, music and culture, hosting industry renaissance icons from the 1920s to the 1960s including Pedro Infante, Dolores Del Rio and Cantinflas. The theater left abandoned was salvaged by a community dedicated to Northside Fort Worth.
