Taking a chance here, since these contributions are 6 years old. Ben Levy was my grandfather and my father talked about the Hippodrome Thater. I have never seen a photo of the theater, and do understand sadly that the structure is no longer there. I will be making my first trip to Joplin, and would like to see, at least, where the theater stood. Any thoughts here? You have already provided some great details, much more than anything I ever knew. Thank you so much.
