The Art Deco styled Long Theatre prospered during Hollywood’s “Golden Age”, and was co-owned by silent movie cowboy star Jack Hoxie, who spent his last years operating a large ranch near Keyes, OK.
It will be appreciated if you could contribute here anything you may know about the Long Theatre!

The Long Theatre was the first movie house in Keyes, which, according to a May 10, 1947, Boxoffice item, was a town of 227 when the 250-seat theater opened that month. Lewis W. Long was the owner of the house. The Long Theatre was still in operation at least as late as 1964, when it was mentioned in the February 3 issue of Boxoffice.
