George A. Ades (1881-1946)
George A. Ades, along with partner Mr. Souris, built the Lux Theatre in 1936. He operated the theatre from September 1937 until 1944 when he sold the Yucca Hotel & Cafe to Mr. and Mrs. Paul Drake of Albuquerque. Ades later moved to Sandoval, 13 miles from Albuquerque, to tend his grape farm until his death in 1946. The Lux was then purchased by C.E. Means in 1947.
