It had its own entrance, concession area, box office and bathroom. The seats in the balcony were considered the best in the theater. The theater opened on December 1, 1927 with John & Lester Fox managing the theater while J. Dawson Clarke played the piano for the old silent movies. In 1949, after the death of John Fox, J. Dawson Clarke and Orville Mason bought the theater and, in 1967, the ownership went to Dawson and his wife Hattie. When the theater originally opened, ticket prices were 10 cents.
