OK, hmmmmm. Midwest Theater. It filled in for Chicago's Biograph in the movie Dillinger. I was delivering flowers for Batten's when that movie made its world premiere in OKC. Got to deliver an arrangement to Michelle Phillips at the Skirvin.

I've got one more "M" in reserve if that's already been mentioned.
