Hippodrome Theatre

The Hippodrome was first mentioned in the Ranger newspapers in 1919 located on 319 Main Street. J. L. Olive was the manager of the Hippodrome. By February of 1920, the Hippodrome Theatre was being remodeled and enlarged. Mr. Olive has decided to build an entirely new building later in the Spring. In September 1920, the building was the Hippodrome Roller Rink located in the old Hippodrome building. In July 1921, Charles F. Heffern donated a room in the old Hippodrome theatre for the use of the Red Cross. By 1923, one-half of the old Hippodrome theatre building was rented to A.F. Mims as a fruit stand.
