For a small town cinema the Pettit Theatre was a somewhat large movie house. Art Moderne styling complimented the exterior, lobby, and auditorium, which included a shallow loge seat balcony.
Any further data you may offer on the Pettit Theatre will be very much appreciated.

These 1939 photos prove you ain’t kidding about this being a fabulous theatre for a small town. That fancy horseshoe balcony and those elegant box seats hint that the Pettit had opera house roots. Type in word “pettit” to see exterior & interior shots.

Hello!
I am writing a book for History Press about early theaters in Oklahoma. Can someone send me a photograph of the PETIT THEATRE at 300.dpi? FULL CREDIT WILL BE GIVEN. Thank you, Dr. John Wilson, Stillwater, Oklahoma
The theatre was erected at a cost of $61,812. The heating plant cost $3,700.
A shame none of the links work anymore. If possible, it’s best to upload them to the photos section.
