Plaza Theatre

Vintage picture postcard views show a Streamline Moderne style movie house on East Cherokee Street, but no name is visible. The Kemble Theatre was opened prior to 1941. By 1943 it had been renamed Plaza Theatre. By 1950 it was operated by the Thompson Theatres Circuit. It was still open in 1952, but had closed by 1955.

C.G. Kemble of Davis, Oklahoma, opened the Kemble Theatre on June 20, 1936. He previously purchased the building that first week of May. It was renamed the Plaza Theatre on January 30, 1941 after an inside remodeling, and being purchased by longtime nearby Cozy Theatre operator E.D. Luna.

The Plaza ended its movie-house run in the Spring of 1953, but left as a special events theater until the end of the year.
