This theater had a balcony in it and a back entrance during the days of Jim Crow segragation. By the late 1960’s the back entrance was no longer in use and the balcony was used by black and white patrons alike. The presence of the US army and the efforts of forward looking post commander at nearby Fort Sill was one of the factors driving desegragation in public accomodations in Lawton.

This theatre was re-named the Diana Theatre during a major renovation by owner Video Independent Theatres of Oklahoma City in the late 50’s/early 60’s.
