Redland Theater, Clinton, OK

The Rialto Theatre was opened by 1920 and was still operating under that name in 1957. It later became the Redland Theatre. The outside of this theatre has been well preserved, but the inside is now being used as a beauty supply shop.

A 1992 view of the Redland Theater here and here after some very nice ornate brickwork had been coverd up with some ugly metal paneling. (See postings above.)

Today the Redland Theatre has been restored to its original look. Thank goodness that tacky gray sheet metal false front has been stripped away.

Drove through Clinton today and visited the Redland – it’s for sale. Amazing that this town has no operating theatre.

Passing through Clinton, and noticed activity inside the Redland. Stopped and met the young couple who purchased the venue. Their goal is to restore the interior and reopen the theater. Stay tuned.

2013 street view shows it was Resolution Apparel at that time.

Guessy dates in description are off. The Rialto Theatre opened April 10, 1922. It installed sound to remain viable for Griffith Amusements before closing for a major refresh under new operator Charles J. Oliver after the July 4, 1950 showing of Gene Autry in “Mule Train” supported by the Popeye cartoon, “A Dream Walking” plus a newsreel.

The new Redland Theatre then launches after an open house with its formal opening on September 15, 1950 with Joan Caulfield as “The Petty Girl.” The Electra Neon Sign Company’s $800 signage was an unbilled star that night, as well. In 1954, the theatre transformed to widescreen projection to present CinemaScope titles.
