The Pix Theatre - Alva's Old Twin Booths...

"I work at the Rialto Theatre in Alva, OK for Johnny Jones. Upon a recent search I did on your site I found some questions in an article pertaining to a theatre having two ticket booths. The author's comment was she couldn't remember whether it was the Ritz or the Pix. A man that was actually in Johnny Jones' Class in at AHS posted a comment somewhere (I think it was on a different page) saying it was the Ranger. The information is WRONG. It was indeed the Pix Theatre that had two ticket windows. I have a picture here that I got from the boss actually taken of the building in 1950. I drew lines on it with a photo editor and typed the date on it. This theatre was not owned by Homer C. Jones, but was later purchased by him in a combo deal when he wanted to buy the drive-in. I have every photo that Johnny C. Jones, son of Homer C. Jones, current owner of Rialto Theatre, the last remaining theatre in the Jones Amusement Co. could find at the moment including original photos of all the theatres he had in Alva. If you would like any of these photos for the site I'm sure I can talk to the boss and get permission." -- Derek Washington, Rialto Theatre Projectionist   |  View or Add Comments (8 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
