During the early-1930s, RKO briefly operated the Hippodrome until it was taken over by Warner Bros Circuit on November 19, 1933, reopening with the World Premiere of “The World Changes” starring Paul Muni. Warner Bros operated the Hippodrome until the early-1950s.

The Hippodrome closed on May 1, 1980 with “Sacrifice” and “Drum”.

The June 1961 remodeling also includes then-brand new installations of a Norelco Universal 35mm/70mm projection with Ashcraft Super Cinex lamps as well as a six-channel transistorized sound system and a 50ft Pearlite screen. All of these installations were all done by Stanley-Warner themselves who were the ones that reopened the Allen.
