The October 9, 1937, issue of Boxoffice Magazine said that Seattle architect Bjarne Moe was actively involved in 15 of the 17 theater projects then underway in the northwest, both new construction and remodelings. The Rena Theatre was one of the 16 projects listed by name.

Though the item didn’t specify that it was one of those designed by Moe, the Rena Theatre was listed as being owned by Moe-Simons Entertainment, so he probably did design it. See also comments posted today by Tom Hutchinson and myself on the Cinema Treasures page for the Garland Theatrein Spokane.

Predating Polson Theaters, it looks like the Rena was part of some conglomerate in the early eighties. The 1981 almanac lists the operator as W.A. Simons Co, a division of Sharp-Sias Enterprises. This company also ran the Wilma in Couer D'Alene at the time.
