Claremore High School Yearbook ran display ads for the Cadet, Yale, and Rogers Drive-In in 1953.
Today the former Cadet Theatre is now Outwest Home Decor, 418 W. Will Rogers Blvd.

The Cadet is mentioned in passing in this 1996 article about the now-closed Rogers Drive-In:

From the Claremore Daily Progress.
The year was 1946:
“Claremore had three movie houses at the time. On this one date, viewers could enjoy "Boys Ranch” starring Butch Jennings and a preview of Charles Coburn’s “The Green Years” at the Yale Theatre; the Cadet Theatre’s double feature “She Wolf of London” and “They Were Expendable” with John Wayne and Robert Montgomery; or for the cowboy fans, Johnny Mack Brown at the Palace Theatre in “The Gentleman from Texas,” plus the sixth serial chapter of “King of the Forest Rangers”.
Claremore, Oklahoma, is an interesting and picturesque locale.
This was Will Rogers birth place, hometown, and where he is entombed.
Claremore is the setting for two succesful Broadway plays that were also hit Hollywood films; “OKLAHOMA!”, and “Dark at the Top of the Stairs”.
Oklahoma Military Academy was located here.
