The Cozy Theatre (not Cosy) opened as early as 1912. One of the first few operators of the theater is the one-and-only E.D. Luna, who installed Vitaphone at the Cozy on May 16, 1929. “Two Weeks Off” is the first sound film being played, no extras. The Thompson Theatres Circuit began operating the theater in 1948.

It remained as the only indoor theater in Wagoner after the closure of the Plaza Theatre in 1953.

CinemaScope was installed in September 1954, running its first CinemaScope titles that October.

In late December 1962, the Cozy Theatre closed for six weeks, and reopened on February 1, 1963 with “Hatari” after being taken over by Betty Cook. It was still in operation as late as the mid-1960s.
