The Odeon Theater was built on Mason's picturesque courthouse square in 1928, and it is the longest continually operating theater in west Texas. Described then by the local Mason County News as "the most attractive playhouse in this section of the country," the theater opened with a showing of the German silent film, "Metropolis." The pioneering science fiction drama, which was the first full-length feature film of its genre, was rescreened at the theater in 2018 in celebration of the Odeon's 90th anniversary. In 1957, the theater was the site of a special premier showing of the Disney movie "Old Yeller," based on the book by Mason native Fred Gipson. The worldwide premier of a second movie, "Savage Sam," based on another of Gipson's books, was held at the Odeon in 1963. Today, the Odeon Theater is owned and operated by the 501(c)(3) non-profit Odeon Preservation Association, and it offers movies and concerts.

Historic theater offering quality entertainment and cultural programs.
