The 1964 IMPA gives the same information. Carlin Smith was president of Wesco. Wesco Theatres Inc. was located in Glenrock, Wyoming. In 1940 the Mines Theater had 300 seats. The 1955 Film Daily lists the Mines Theater with 480 seats.

I’ll have to check later IMPA listings to see if it changed hands.

The Mines was part of the Wesco Theaters chain in 1963.
