The Cherokee, located at 117 S. Grand, was in business from 1928 to 1959. It was operated by the Griffith Amusement Company from 1940 to 1945, Shields Theatres from 1945 to 1950 and Video Independent Theatres, Inc. (formerly Griffith) from 1950 to 1959. The 1952 and 1954 Enid City Directories list the Cherokee’s address as 115 S. Grand.
The Cinema Section of Roadside Oklahome is closed, they no longer have theatre photos according to the site. See their home page for more info.
Today the former Cherokee Theatre is home to Larry’s Home Oxygen.
Next door (right of Cherokee) stands the old Royal Theatre.

Enter Fort Supply Opera House if you would like to see an antique postcard of that theatre.
Center left of this vintage postcard shows an Enid movie house, name is very difficult to make out. Does it read Cherokee?
