There is a Theater Bartlesville at the adjacent address of 312 which has live performances. How much of the former movie theatre is incorporated into this space is unknown.

This is a modern day view of SE Dewey & Frank Phillips Blvd. The former Yale (AKA-Rex) Theatre was inside the red brick bldg on the left.

Page 80 in ‘WASHINGTON COUNTY, THEN and NOW’ (posted by Joe Vogel) says the Yale (AKA-Rex) Theatre was located on 304 SE Dewey Ave. Location is now a clothing store.

The book Washington County by Michelle M. Martin says that the Rex Theatre was built in 1915 and originally called the Yale.

There’s a small photo of the facade of the Yale Theatre in an ad for a popcorn machine that was published in the May, 1917, issue of Photoplay (result 4 of 5 for Yale– page 155.) There’s a bit of Art Nouveau decoration on the building.
