Rex Theatre

W.J. Delong and J.J. Evans opened the first Rex Theater on July 4, 1920 in the 19th Century-buiilt Knights of Pythias Hall. E.J. New took on the venue in January of 1921 to little success. The 313-seat theater wasn’t enough for W.L. Casey who took on the venture and moving the seats and projector to a Reardan, Washington Theater. But Casey wanted to have the Inland Empire’s best theater. He built and opened the town’s second Rex Theatre location opens with Will Walling in “The Village Blacksmith” on October 24, 1923. The theater went on to a great run.
