The Opera House in Ranger opened on September 5, 1919. It was located on Pine Street between Austin and Travis. It was billed as a high class motion picture theatre. In 1920, Ranger High school used the facility for their senior play. The Opera House was the leading show house at the time in town. The City of Ranger’s inauguration of their city council and Mayor were held in the building so everyone in town could see this historic opportunity. The Opera House advertised during the summer months on the first three days of the week was Vaudeville and then the last four days of the week, there would be musical comedy and special feature pictures. The wooden Opera House burned in December 1920.
