astroboy perhaps you could also provide some narrative about the theater for the heading.222
This was my grandfather’s theater. I have photos. I need to dig them up and I will post them. My grandfgather’s name was Andrew “Duke” Smith. My grandmother’s name was Wilma (nee Hale) Smith. I believe he closed the theater in 1950 to take a job at McDonnell-Douglas so that he and my grandmother could put my dad, Gary, and my aunt, Jean, through college. My dad went to TU and my aunt went to OU. When I came back to Tulsa for my dad’s funeral in 1990, my grandfather drove me by the building that the theater had been in.
Assuming Google maps is right, this address is at the main intersection of Dawson, a town subsumed by Tulsa.
I wonder if the Mars Theatre was decorated in a planetary theme?
