Mr Dudley thanks for the correction. I agree the Ross’s have done a great job. The Lamar is beautiful! I spoke with them on Cindy and I’s first visit, but I guess I got that fact confused. Who built the Lamar? I finally purchased a digital camera that works well, so next time I’m in Lamar, I’m going to speak with Mr. Ross about photographing his theatre. I’d like to photograph yours, the Movies, too. If you’ll send me your e.mail address, I’ll send you some of my favorites. Cindy and I just love checking out classic theatres, meeting their owners and hearing their stories. Like we were talking about, that’s one of the first things we do when we’re traveling through a town. Like you, we look for the theatre. See you the next time we’re in Ulysses, KS.

I would like to add to Brent Clark with whom I met at my theatre in Ulysses Kansas. Rick and Tina Ross has done an excellent job with the Lamar Theatre. It has had so many owners that had just let it run down. Brent Clark had thought that C.U. Yeager was the architect but was the owner back in the 30"s. I worked for Atlas Theatre chain out of Denver which was owned by Mr. Yeager and for years of all the theatres he owned he called the Lamar theatre his Flag Ship Theatre. He had a big color photo of the theatre in his office in Denver.posted by Richard Dudley on July 11,2005 at 10:25p.m.

This is one of my favorites. The mural work alone is excellent, not to mention the recessed neon lighting. The owner said he has multiple colors of neon for the different seasons and it’s all original. This is one of the coolest theatres you’ll find around eastern Colorado.
