Don’t know if this is the theater referred to in the above post.

Unless like they said, they tore down all the old parts and then much later rebuilt everything to look like the opera house. Still odd, though.

They do look like two different buildings, though.

Last comment on this: I guess from reading the history they tore it down after the fire in 1948 and rebuilt it later. Question answered.

I’m having a little trouble reconciling the 1948 exterior photo posted on 7/9/07 with the current photos of the building. I’m hoping that we’re not mixing up the Opera House with another stand alone theater called the Smyrna.

No, you didn’t. I posted that for the Lux in New Mexico. Some crossed wires, I guess.

Looks a lot better there than when I saw it a few years ago.

I don’t think this is the Childress theater, but I would be curious to know the identity of this place. The photo is circa 1960s. It seems like I’ve seen that marquee before, but I don’t know where.
