Waylande Gregory designed and created all the sculptural work in the theater in 1926 and 1927.

Here is what Waylande Gregory promised in advance of the construction of his works. Did he deliver? I think so!

There is another Missouri Theatre built by the Boller Brothers in Columbia, Mo the year after ours was constructed.

(It's nice...but not as nice as the original Missouri Theater, above.)

Here are some great links to pages about the Boller Brothers, and other great historic theaters:

Waylande Gregory also wrote at least one piece of sheet music The Kitty Wobble  - I did not know that!
