I wonder if there are any photos of this theatre in its early days before Fridley remodeled it.

According to the August 15, 1967, Carroll Daily Times Herald, the Boone Theatre opened to the public on Wednesday, August 16. The theatre was constructed after a September 1966 fire destroyed the Rialto Theatre which previously occupied the space. Seating at time of opening was 470, and the theatre was locally owned by the Boone Theatre Corp.
