This small, single aisle cinema opened as the Campus Theatre and was constructed for the YMCA around 1915. Vintage photos indicate this movie house was installed inside existing retail space. It was closed around 1922 and converted into a grocery store. It later reopened as the Boomer Theatre. It is now a medical facility. Not to be confused with a later Boomer Theatre.

Research reveals that this (original) Boomer Theatre sat at 764 Asp., directly across the street from the second Boomer Theatre.
According to google maps (street view image) this space is now Apothem Sooner Sportswear Shop.
