The H&S Theatre opened on September 16, 1926 and not much has changed
since. OK the vaudeville acts are gone, but the first run movies are still
playing, Unless you're paying close attention you could drive right by
the building and not realize it is a theater.
Architects A.C. Davis & Sons of Shawnee, OK designed the building
and the Hill Company of Ada, OK built it. Something like130,000 bricks
went into building the theater.
Instead of a marquee, a rather small modern electric sign on the balcony
listing the current movie. The theatre shows first-run movies and is
open nightly.
The building is named for the original owners retired Army Col. R.
Hoover and H. G.Stettmund. Some of the original seats are on display
at the Lincoln County Historical Society Museum of Pioneer History down
the street at 717 Manvel Ave.
