In 1955 the Ora Theater had 407 seats.
Bryan,
The Ora Theatre was part of the J.G. Long Theatre chain. There were five Long theatres in Freeport during the 40’s.
They were: The Freeport, The Ora, The Port, The Showboat, and The Velasco (actually in the town of Velasco just across the river).
I’ll do some research and supply the information to you.

The above entry has been edited and botched.
I included links to 3 photos of the Ora which have been deleted.
One picture included a legend stating that the Ora was opened in 1949 and was Freeport’s first theater; I pointed out that was probably in error.
While investigating another theater in Freeport I encountered the owners who told me that theater had opened ca. 1940 or 1941, not the Ora.
