This 43 x 140 foot building on the South Side of Main Street was constructed in 1925 by Ferris and Glen Thompson. Over time the Thompson name was associated with theatres throughout Oklahoma.

The theatre closed in 1982.

One source indicates that Wilson, at one time, had also been home to the Dreamland, Empress, Ezy, Hippodrome, Rialto and Yale Theatres.

The $20,000 Thompson Theatre (or the Thompson Brothers Theatre) opened its doors on May 7, 1925 with “The Great Divide”.
