Hobbs Daily News-Sun, Sept. 30, 1951: “The second theater opening in Hobbs was the Derrick … early advertisements located it as "adjoining the federal postoffice building on East Carlsbad.” (Carlsbad is the former name of Broadway.)“ Its first movie was the 1925 silent film "She” starring Betty Blythe.

The Derrick Theater is also listed as ‘closed’ in the 1941 and 1943 editions of F.D.Y.
