I can remember Uncle Orlo (O.K. Mason) talking about Howard Jameyson. I wonder if he didn’t also have a place on the Frying Pan River in Colorado?

After further review, my records indicate that O.K. Mason and Charles Schultz formed Commonwealth Theater Corporation of Kansas City in 1935. There was apparently some indirect involvement or Fox Films. Does anyone have further information on the early years?

I believe that my great uncle, O.K. Mason, was one of the founders of Commonwealth Theatres. He used to talk about his first theatre being located in Newton, KS.
