Your grandparents watched movies here
When was the last time you watched a movie at the Odeon Theatre in Ada? It's probably been a very long time ago. Although was still open in 1950, we aren't certain of its closing date.
This movie theatre, located at 222 N. Main St., Ada, opened in 1914, as the town's first theatre. The first show was "The Girl at the Curtain."
A second view of the theatre is below. Both photos are from the collection of the Ada Public Library. If you have an story about this theatre, we welcome your comments at: [email protected].
