The city was supposedly named by an Army surveyor who found an old rusted axe at an abandoned campsite at the junction of 2 trails.

Website: https://lidotheaterdallas.business.site/ The “theatre” such as it is, appears to be a peep show viewing room.

Status should be closed. After seeing that their website had not been updated and phones disconnected I contacted the local Chamber of commerce. I was informed that the cinema closed over a year ago.

Andy, it’s not difficult to have Kodachrome slides digitized. There are many places to do it inexpensively, such as Walgreens. Then you can upload them to the site.

Andy Gray it would be nice to see these pictures you mention. You can have them digitized and then uploaded to this site. I’ve done that many times. Thanks.

The theatre is permanently closed. It has a new owner and all the interior furnishings are being sold off. Looks like a gut rehab with no plans to do any kind of theatre activities. Check out the website link for info.

Google Street View of May 2018 shows a 2012 film title posted on the marquee. Might have been showing older movies at the time the picture was taken.

Trolleyguy commented about Badlands Drive-In on Feb 17, 2021 at 4:01 pm

This appears to be a temporary pop-up theatre. Will probably close once the pandemic is under control.

Trolleyguy commented about Bristol Opera House on Feb 14, 2021 at 3:57 pm

The building at that address is the Bristol Town Hall. It appears to have been a repurposing of the old theatre, so function should be government, municipal.

They are still trying to carry on as a live performance venue. Currently, a fund-raising effort is in place to make up for lost revenue due to the pandemic. http://www.savethelasalle.com/

I just contacted the Okemah Chamber of Commerce. They report that it is closed and under new ownership. They’re not sure of any future plans for it.

Trolleyguy commented about Nevada Theatre (II) on Dec 30, 2020 at 3:24 pm

Google Streetview of June 2019 shows the theatre as pretty much still intact, with marquee, blade sign, poster boxes and foyer. Just like it’s asleep.

Google Streetview of August 2019 shows the building for sale and seemingly unopen.

Luis, there is an auditorium picture on the website. Also many pictures on their Facebook page. No historical shots, though.
