There are two theaters in Heavener that are named the New Theatre. This one is the second one, which opened on November 11, 1946 with Walter Pidgeon in “Holiday In Mexico” (unknown if extras added).

The towns of Poteau and Heavener are a few miles apart in LeFlore County, of which Poteau is the County Seat. It seems odd that one town would have a theater named for the other town.

There is a three-screen Poteau Theatre operating in Poteau today, though. Heavener apparently has no theaters open.

Open ~1950? Can anyone verify the exact dates?

Could use an address or crossroads, more info and photos.
