This theater was located in the short-lived Wonderland Park. This was located close to the Walnut River, and was opened on June 27, 1918 and was still open in May 1919. The operation was moved that May from Wichita, where it had been located since about 1909. It seems that Sunday laws and the war had made it difficult to continue operations in the original location.
The 1923 Sanborn shows a very large airdome on Park Drive, which no longer exists, but was a small loop east of Griffith Street. The structure appears to be covered, but was likely open on the sides. Information is hard to find, but this theater is not listed in the 1926 Yearbook.
The park vanished long ago. The site appears to be used to store pipes or drilling equipment for the oil industry.

Opened on June 27, 1918 as El Dorado’s third Airdome. It was still advertised into as late as May 1919, though I cannot find any more information on it.
