Before this was the Dallas, it was the Amuse-U. And it was likely the Lyric prior to the Amuse-U. But for sure on July 11, 1939, Mrs. Mark Attwood sold the Amuse-U Theatre to Lee Williams Theatres Corp. Circuit of Oklahoma City. R. B. Hardy took over with an extensive remodeling and renaming of the theatre relaunching in October of 1939 as the Dallas Theatre. A picture of the Dallas and its reboot are in photos.
NOT demolished. repurposed as a retail space. Building still stands.
If the address is right, this is absolutely demolished. It must have been the vacant lot next to the old post office. There are only a few other two story buildings left, and all are either in the wrong place on their blocks, or look completely unlike this theater. We also need to delete one of the photos, since it’s a duplicate.
This was not the Lyric, that was across the street. The address is bogus. The post office is 220, so 252 is impossible. I suggest perhaps 218, if we even have the correct block.
