The October 8, 1949 issue of Boxoffice reported that the Cimarron Theatre at Cimarron, Kansas, owned and operated by Mr. and Mrs. Milton Blakeman, would close for a month for modernization. The $8,000 project would include new restrooms and improvements to the front of the house.
The Cimarron was back in Boxoffice on August 4, 1951, which said that the Blakemans had bought the house back from Mr. and Mrs. John Boehm, to whom they had sold it the previous August.
This theater was probably built in 1933 or ‘34. It first appears in the 1934 Yearbook as the Morris, with 350 seats. By 1939, the capacity is down to 300. It was renamed the Cimarron in 1941. The capacity had increased to 370 by 1946, and it is still listed in the 1956 Yearbook with 370 seats. The building has been vacant for at least the past few years.
