First opened as the Brown’s Opera House in late January 1909, although it might have an earlier name beforehand but was unknown at this time. It became the Liberty Theatre on February 21, 1924 after being taken over by Elmer Lewis.
Uploaded a photo of the Liberty as a performance venue.
Modern photos of the Liverty Theatre can be viewed on this fine site,

A 1999 photo of the Liberty Theater on a lonely and deserted Main St. in Watonga.
The Liberty may have had a Reproduco to accompany the silent films. This was an automatic piano with three ranks of organ pipes thatcould also be played by hand.
I’m fine with his posting of the link. I’ve been lazy about posting lately. Haven’t even updated my own site in forever!
This link has some interesting exterior and interior photos:
