Open till 1955?
Google Map is a bit off, it’s a bit left of the red dot.
Anyone have more info or photos?
WOW! That structure sure looks like an old nickelodeon. Perhaps “PIX” was a new name added to a fomer nickel movie house?
Listed at this address now is Wilcoxens Family Academy.

The Ismo Opened As Early As 1936.
The local paper contends that John and Opal Gray converted a decade’s old retail building in downtown Chickasha and converted it into the Pix Theatre. Looking at the 311 Chickasha Avenue address, retail businesses are in it for decades which corroborates the newspaper’s account. Posted in photos is a February 1941 announcement of its impending opening less than a week away.
Opal Gray took over full control over the Pix Theatre during its run. She regularly advertises through December of 1952 but nothing after. That may be indicative - or not - of its closure. The paper lists a different venue for the home of the Ismo so believe it could be stricken from this entry.
