This 43 x 140 foot building on the South Side of Main Street was constructed in 1925 by Ferris and Glen Thompson. Over time the Thompson name was associated with theatres throughout Oklahoma.

The theatre closed in 1982.

One source indicates that Wilson, at one time, had also been home to the Dreamland, Empress, Ezy, Hippodrome, Rialto and Yale Theatres.
