It’s really refreshing to be in a state chocked full of beautiful landscapes and functional town centers with little or no sign of stock chain stores or coffee shops. Bolivar’s Luez Theatre is a jewel, stylish, comfortable and with just enough state of the art technology to make any film reeling from its projector an event.
This is the second generation Luez Theatre, having moved from its original 1936 site on Market Street to its current location in 1948. You can get a view of its exterior and more detailed information via the Luez website.

Kevin you have some amazing and clear photos, much appreciated.
Here is a close-up shot of the Luez Theater.
Both the first and second Luez theaters were originally owned and operated by Louise Mask. A January 18, 1941, Boxoffice item gives the origin of the theater’s unusual name. Ms. Mask wanted a name with only four letters, and when building the first theater held a naming contest for it. The name Luez, a phonic contraction the name Louise, was the winning submission. I’ve found Louise Mask mentioned in Boxoffice as operator of the Luez as late as 1967.
