I snapped close-up pictures of each one. Click them and they get bigger. I wonder why these particular subjects were chosen, although many of them are obviously arts related. The building was built in 1918.
Each of the above sculptures have their own buffalo head.
The building is called the Million Dollar Theater. Here's a Flickr photo-set with good pictures of the building itself. There's a Million Dollar Theater Homepage with some indoor shots. More indoor pictures here. And here's a Wikpedia page which reports the name of the sculptor: Jo Mora. Besides these figurative works there's a lot of very neat decorative sculpture as well.

I was wondering if any of these photos are of the statues behind the current marquee. If you look at photos of the original marquee there are 2 statues. I am looking for a photo that shows their detail. http://www.flickr.com/photos/7294653@N07/5227767493/
Hi Grace - from what I can tell my second picture (the man with the funny round thing on his chest holding a zig-zaggy "harp"?) and fourth picture (the Egyptian-y man with the bird face) are the two sculptures just above the marquee. I found this recent picture of the marquee: http://www.flickr.com/photos/jodisummers/3697059494/in/set-72157621022231438/
