The first newspaper ad I’ve found for the Westwood Theatre was dated May 22, 1969, and this an announcement that read “The Westwood Theatre is Coming Soon!”
Recent photos of the sleek Westwood Cinema can be found on Roadside Oklahoma web.

The Cinema Section of Roadside Oklahome is closed, they no longer have theatre photos according to the site. Go to their home page for further details.
This theater did not close in 1979 because I saw Out of Africa there and that was in 1985.
during the 80’s I was in the electronics business, and happened to befriend Ken Williams, who was the Manager/Projectionist of this wonderful theater. I was able to visit the projection room and viewed a number of films there. The Right Stuff, Streets of Fire and Legend(Tom Cruise) come to mind.
