A Rusted piece of the old Marquee is all that is left of the theatre.

The Apache was opened by L. E. Snyder July 7th 1948. was closed in 1983. It had a large playground complete with a miniature golf course and dance patio. The rides were built by Robert Bell, who later built Bells Amusement park here in Tulsa. They had a replica Crosley fire engine that they gave rides around the lot to children. The theatre had 12 ramps. I worked there during my HS years in the late 60’s and my dad was a ticket seller. Originally it was a black theatre and later catered to whites only until intergration.

I believe you can still see part of the sign, or some such remnant, of the theatre. It’s on the south side of Apache Street, right across from Tulsa Community College Northeast Campus.
