The Olympic Theatre (in 1980) was located in the small West Texas college town of Canyon. It had a red domed, three sided box office and at one time had light bulbs running horizontally accross the top.

Its front walk and entry had some very ornate white tile with green inlaid tile spelling out “Olympic” along with an Egyptian patterned border all along the edge.

I hope someone can describe its sign and marquee.

This website mentions the Olympic Theater.

“From 1926-1969, the Olympic Theater operated in Canyon. The air conditioned Olympic was known as the "best modern theater of any town twice its size in the state”.
