The Carlton Theatre was opened by Dickinson Theatres on August 30, 1938 with Martha Raye in “Give Me a Sailor”. Seating was provided for 750 in the orchestra level and 100 in the balcony. In 1941 it was listed as (Closed), but had re-opened by 1943. The Carlton Theatre was still open in 1950 and operated by Dickinson Theatres. It was then taken over by Mid-Central Theatres and was renamed Co-Ed Theatre, closing in 1958. It was demolished in the late-2000’s-early-2010’s.

In the 50’s and 60’s, the theater was known as the Co-Ed. I often attended the Co-Ed Theater as a young boy and teenager.
This theatre was named after Carlton Dickinson brother to Glen Dickinson Jr. He was killed in a car accident before the theatre was built.
Opened on September 1st, 1938 as the Carlton. Grand opening ad in the photo section.
Closed in 1958
Demolished.
This needs to be changed to demolished. The building was torn down sometime between 2007 and 2013.
