Trying to identify a typeface used on an old theater sign in Kansas City. The top sign was the original from when the theater opened in the late 60s, the middle and bottom are from the "new" theater that was opened down the street when the original was torn down in 2000 (middle being a picture of interior signage and bottom being the new sign). There are slight differences, but they appear to be derived from the same source.
The lettering is in a pastiche of styles used in Hollywood medieval movies. A flavor of German and Olde English blackletter, seasoned with tendril and ball decorations etc.
For the blackletter lowercase the best general fit might be Morris Gothic, Digitized by HiH 
http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/hihretrofonts/morris/ also by Richard Kegler for P22 http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/p22/morris/
For the _o_ consider Will Bradley's 1894 lettering as made into a font for American Type Founders in 1895. Digital by Nick Curtis as Fyne Fish NF

For some tendril and ball decorations consider Euclid by Central Type Foundry in the 1880s. Digital by Nick Curtis as Oh You Klid NF
