Opened in 1917 as the Jones Theatre, with 999 seats. It was just a couple of buildings along Main Street from the Canon City Opera House (later Sarah Theatre).
It was re-named Skyline Theatre around 1935. The seating capacity had then been reduced to 748. This small town theatre is still a single screen, playing first run movies.

The Skyline Theatre is listed in Film Daily Yearbook editions from at least 1941. Seating capacity is given as 748 or 750.
The Skyline Theater was built, as a Movie Theater, in 1918. It still operates, showing first run movies. It now seats 256. We still have the balcony(not in use by the public). It was remodeled about 5 years ago by the previous owners. Looks great. They put alot of care into it.
