The Rexy Theatre opened in 1928, located on South Street not far from 5th Street. This 2,000-plus seat theater was designed by the firm of Hodgens & Hill. The Rexy Theatre closed in 1975 and demolished not long after. A fast food restaurant stands on the site today.

I have seen a photo of the theatre’s interior. It was an ATMOSPHERIC design. As far as I know, this theatre was closed most of the time. It was one of those cases where there were too many seats for the neighborhood.
