Does anybody know any information about the Danny Theatre, also in Durant? Because it was the last operating movie theater in the town. All I know is that the Danny Theatre closed on December 17, 1986 with “Soul Man” after some 40+ year run and it went on sale the following month. M.E. Ginn was its original operator who may’ve operated the Danny throughout its life.

I’ve posted an image in the Photos Section which strongly suggests that this was originally called the Dixie Theatre.
