Located midway between Oklahoma City and Dallas/Fort Worth, Ardmore has always been a nice size town with a population of around 24,000.
Ardmore trivia;
Actress Rue McClanahan grew up here, and Gene Autry’s “Worlds Wonder Horse” Champion (A dark sorrel with four white stockings and a medium-wide blaze) is buried in Ardmore, beneath the sidewalk in front of the Tivoli Theatre.
By the way, the Star Theatre (photo right) is that rough stone, Romanesque style building left of the law offices.

Ardmore must be a pretty good size city with all these screens.

An obvious carry over from nickelodeon days, when one bought a ticket to the Star Theatre it was purely to see a movie. There was no pretense of glamour.
Type word “theatre” in search field to see exterior/interior photos of this simple little cinema…

The Star is now the Bluebonnet Feed Store.
