“The Oklah Air Dome was built in 1908 by J.L. Overlees, located on the corner of Dewey and Fourth St. It was the place to go on those warm June evenings - until at least until October - to watch a stock company perform a different play each night. It was an open-air theater where you sat under the stars on hard wooden benches and listened to Al Jolson play the piano or William Hart, World Famous Movie star, act out a 3 act play. The theatre remained at 328 Dewey Ave until 1915.”
