Here is another view of Morrison, OK. Don’t know anything about this small town, so not sure if one of those building once housed a cinema.

Located in the 300 block of N. Main, the decorative tile roof and marquee have been removed, but the white and powder blue structure (photo left) still looks a lot like it did in the 1940s.

You’re probably right, Chuck, most likely this was only a nickelodeon operation. Looks as if these days Morrison is no more than a railroad junction.

Perusing google maps, the Barnsdall Theatre is an attractive three story structure located on main & 5th. An extremely long auditorium runs along 5th St., but shows no evidence of having a balcony.
