What a pretty little cinema the El Caro was. A romantic setting in which to watch a double feature and enjoy a box of popcorn.

raybradley commented about Villa Theatre on Jun 27, 2010 at 2:03 pm

Comments posted 10-4-05, surely must describe the result of the mid 1940’s remodel job. Originally the Villa interior was pure Art Deco, aillustrated in photos of sister house- Tower Theatre, Drumwright, OK.

raybradley commented about Vitagraph Theatre on Jun 27, 2010 at 1:44 pm

Carle SoonerGrad74; you are the one who is wrong!
Vitagraph Theatre location posted 4-22-06 is exactly correct. Photo background shows South Robinson Street, looking Norh. In the background can clearly be seen the thirteen story Colcord Bldg, and the five story Baum Bldg., both located at Grand and Robinson.
For futher images of the Colcord and Baum see the following theatres;
Liberty (AKA Harber/Cooper), RKO Rialto, State, and/or Warner (AKA Overholser/Orpheum)

raybradley commented about Wes-Ten Theater on Jun 27, 2010 at 1:02 pm

LongestDay:
Yes, that large white buidling is the former WesTen Theatre. Appearance was extensively altered when the structure was converted to a homeless shelter. Original WesTen Threatre had a typical neon outlined, movie house facade, with a large, V shaped, flashing neon marquee.

raybradley commented about Buffalo Theatre on Dec 8, 2009 at 3:23 pm

I’m sure Buffalo is a pleasant local to live in, but there must be a chair in this theatre for every person in town if seating capacity is 224.
