This old vaudeville house, built in the 1930s in Alpine, Texas, was purchased by Indian immigrant Avanish Rangra, a chemistry professor at Sul Ross State University locally, and his wife, Anju, in the 1970s. In 2002 their son, Amit, told a local newspaper, "We're not exactly a multiplex as much as a 'biplex'" movie theater. At one time, the upper windows were also covered with depictions of Hollywood movie stars

Summary
The zoo was the brainstorm of Harry "Two Guns" Miller, who grew out his hair and took on the persona "Chief Crazy Thunder" when he greeted visitors. There is still a Two Guns exit from the high-speed Interstate Highway 40 that succeeded the old two-lane road, but there are nothing but shells of the zoo, a campground, and a gas station to be found there.

In 2015, documentary photographer Carol Highsmith received a letter from Getty Images accusing her of copyright infringement for featuring one of her own photographs on her own website. It demanded payment of $120. This was how Highsmith came to learn that stock photo agencies Getty and Alamy had been sending similar threat letters and charging fees to users of her images, which she had donated to the Library of Congress for use by the general public at no charge. In 2016, Highsmith has filed a $1 billion copyright infringement suit against both Alamy and Getty stating “gross misuse” of 18,755 of her photographs. “The defendants [Getty Images] have apparently misappropriated Ms. Highsmith’s generous gift to the American people,” the complaint reads. “[They] are not only unlawfully charging licensing fees … but are falsely and fraudulently holding themselves out as the exclusive copyright owner.” According to the lawsuit, Getty and Alamy, on their websites, have been selling licenses for thousands of Highsmith’s photographs, many without her name attached to them and stamped with “false watermarks.” (more: http://hyperallergic.com/314079/photographer-files-1-billion-suit-against-getty-for-licensing-her-public-domain-images/)
