For the El Caro Theatre in El Reno, OK, Paramount Theatres utilized the same blue print used to build their Inca Theatre in Okmulgee, OK.

Both floor plans had the same lay out, but architectural styling was slightly altered from Mission Revival (for the Inca) to Spanish Renaissance for El Caro.

Patterned white washed brick adorned the lovely Mediterranean facade, and was well balanced with cement trim, geometric windows, and heavy panel doors. Bright yellow tracer lights outlined a glazed tile box office and v-shaped marquee.

Interior colour schemes were carried out in earth tone hues. Blue ceramic tile covered floors throughout the theatre (carpet was ommited from this design). Rough plastered walls were painted a rich tangerine tint, with turquoise trim. Molding consisted of sculpted, unglazed terra-cotta. Ceiling grids were formed from ornate cast plaster beams, painted to resemble oak. Patina light fixtures were adorned with amber mylar shades. Giant Art Nouveau clay pots enhanced carefully arranged niches and alcoves. Stage portiere were designed to resemble Spanish fringed shawles.

Today an Ashbrook Safeco shop occupies this downtown real estate. A nice image from Photobones of the former El Caro Theatre can be seen on the link below.

I spent some time in El Reno last month. I didn't know about this theater, which is too bad as I did quite a bit of walking in the downtown area.
