The New American Airdome (El Dorado’s second airdome) opened its doors on May 19, 1917 with the Dorothy Reeves Company in the live presentation of “Home And Honer” alongside five acts of vaudeville and performances by the theater’s orchestra. It was owned by J.M. Owens and Ed Troutman.

The New American Airdome closed after the 1917 season, but it didn’t stop El Dorado, because a third Airdome opened at Wonderland Park in June 1918.
