A lot of older areas deal with that and most older theaters do as well. Frankly, I wondered if it might be dealing with it now, given the location, but it was too clean and up to date - and the movie showing was obviously not an x-rated movie, though I didn't recognize it. It seemed obvious to me that, whatever its past, it had become an independent film spot near downtown. Thanks for the encouragement and the history from a native Tulsan.

I'm not sure when it stopped being a normal movie theater, but growing up during the 70s, it was notorious for only showing pornographic movies. My mom lives nearby, and driving past it was a pretty shady place. Thankfully the city has taken steps to do away with much of that seediness, and it is slowly changing. Great historical photo, and I'm glad you shared it. I don’t know if you’re aware of the history of the Circle Cinema.
