The Empire Theatre was opened at the turn of the 20th century. It became the Majestic Theatre from at least 1906. It was listed in the 1914-1915 edition of American Moton [Picture Directory with the address of 210 W. Main Street. It screened its last movie on January 30, 1917.
The brick building at 210 W. Main Street still stands vacant in 2025. The photographs posted on this page show a Main Street Coffee located at 108 W. Main Street.

The Majestic Theatre was mentioned in the Sunday, September 23, 1906, issue of the Daily Ardmoreite. The house had presented its last show of the season the previous night. It featured vaudeville, music, and short films.
On July 15, 1916, The Moving Picture World said that Helback & Cox, proprietors of the Theatorium and the Majestic Theatre in Ardmore had acquired the lot at West Main and B Streets for a new theater. By the middle of 1917, the only theaters advertising in the Ardmoreite were the Princess, the Palace, and the Theatorium, so I think the Majestic might have closed soon after the Princess opened. I’ve found the Theatorium advertised as late as 1922.
hello, ,
I am, compiling an historical photo survey of Vaudeville Houses in early Oklahoma. It is amazing to see how many houses there were. There were several smaller Vaudeville “circuits” besides the large,national circuits. John Wilson, Ph.D.
