Hexter and B.F. Shafer opened the Airdome on June 3, 1911 with artwork by Grant Rose, an electric piano, and a capacity crowd. The venue was used in place of the ventilation-challenged Rose Opera House for summer programming. In 1915 and 1916, it was Leslie J. Barr who opened the Airdome with movies as the Lyric Theatre was closed for the summer months. It does not appear to have returned in 1917.
