The Liberty Theatre of Coquille, Oregon, was located roughly thirty miles inland from Coos Bay. In this small town, logging was a prominent business and was one of many small towns in the area. The Liberty Theatre started as a vaudeville theatre and progressed into a picture house. Sound equipment was added on February 16, 1930. Before that there was musical accompaniment. Throughout the years, this theatre hosted many community events, from cooking schools to fiddling competitions. The Theatre was managed by Clyde Gage, and had an occupancy of 520 seats. The theatre was located on the outskirt of downtown, on the corner of First Street and Willard Street.
The Liberty Theatre underwent renovations after briefly being closed in the early 1930's. This restoration included heating and new plumbing, along with new seats and a new sign. Most importantly, there was a vital addition of a new sound system for the theatre that was fully equipped and ready for the advancement of sound in film. The city of Coquille was growing at this time and the remodel of the theater solidified its growth, as the theatre would operate well into the 1950s and possibly early 60s. The theatre stayed standing and was converted into housing until it was completely demolished in 2024. There is no photos of the theater in use but there is still evidence featured in the Sanborn Fire map, and pictures of the abandoned building. There was also a Mural that was featured on the side of the building, painted in 1995.
