My father, Edwin Phillips, managed the Thompson Theatre. Yes, the Thompson family of Oklahoma City owned several theatres in various small towns in Oklahoma. Before the ‘new’ Thompson Theatre opened about 1954, there was the old Thompson on Court Street and the Pix Theatre was across the street. There was also the Choctaw Drive-In south of town.
My father, Edwin Phillips, was the manager of the Ray Theater from about 1946 until May 1952. I think I do have some pics with the theater in it. I’ll do some searching.
