The El Cortez Theater was built in 1941.

It was closed for many, many years, but revitalized and re-opened in 1995 to show first-run movies once again.

This little town of Truth or Consequences, NM (pop. 7,500+), and the little surrounding towns, have helped support it through the years with their generous attendence.

The El Cortez Theater has been reopened (Feb. 2007) by its new owners Mark & Mary Giardetti. The 126 seat house has undergone significant renovations to the sound system and further improvements are planned in an ongoing effort to provide Sierra County with a much needed entertainment outlet for families. The theater plans to show New Releases of films PG13 and below. El Cortez is the only commercial screen within a 75 mile radius and its return (after 4 years} has been well received by the local community. Currently Friday and Saturday evenings and Sat. Matinees are scheduled.

The town was named after the TV show following some kind of contest years ago. I don't recall what the original name of the town was.

The town was originally named Hot Springs. Film Daily Yearbooks from 1941 though 1950 list the El Cortz Theatre with 500 seats (1941/1943 editions) to 580 seats (1950 edition).

Starting today a Sunday evening show time has been added to accommodate the community.
