Both the exterior and interior of the Tulsa Theater was International in styling. Color scheme was white trimmed in striking scarlet.

Web pages do change and here is an updated address for above mentioned site.
This color postcard has a 1950's view of the old Tulsa Theatre.
Some sources claim that Tulsa Theatre and Main Street Cinema were both the same movie house. This picture postcard destroys that theory, as the former Main Street Cinema sat (photo right) between Crown Drugs and JC Penney's, and Tulsa Theatre is clearly across the street from that location,

The middle postcard has an image of the Majestic Theatre, photo left.

There really is no reason to post this 1957 photo other than to prove that the Tulsa Theatre and Main Street Cinema were two seperate movie houses. Midway down the block on photo left can be seen the Tulsa Theatre, across the street on photo right is seen the former Main Street Cinema.

This 1929 photo from the Tulsa Library shows the Gayety Theater, according to the caption. I can't see it in the picture:

The Palace marquee on the left side of this 1943 photo suggests another downtown theater in Tulsa:

Sorry, the Palace is already listed. My mistake, so disregard the previous post.

Regular updates on the Tulsa Lawyer web site causes their photos to constantly change pages. From the Tulsa Lawyer link comes this direct route to a 1950 color postcard of the Tulsa Theatre. . .

Seems that Oklahoma Historical Society is not too interested in documenting fact, as they remark that the Tulsa Theatre replaced the Main Street Cinema. Vintage images from other sources prove that these two theatres operated in compitition across the street from one another.
The eye pleasing interior motif of the Tulsa Theatre could best be described as Southwestern Moderne.

When Tulsa Theatre switched over to screening skin flicks during the 1960's these were the type film shown. Tame by todays standards, but quite recy back then.
