Rogers Little Theater Charity Profile
The Victory Theater, designed by architect A. O. Clarke in 1927, opened as the first motion picture theater in Northwest Arkansas on Monday, December 5, 1927. At the Theater's inception, Charley Marshall and John Cooper sought to enrich the relatively new town of Rogers, Arkansas (established as a railroad town in the 1880's) with a Theater which would bring entertainment and news to people from many miles away. They invested seventy-five thousand dollars and with the vision of A. O. Clarke, established a showplace not only for entertainment, but more importantly a place that people would be drawn to for decades. There is inherent difficulty in trying to make a 'place'. But with Rogers being relatively new as a town, the Theater essentially acted as a common fairground but on a newly formed urban, downtown built fabric.
