Both the Brainerd and the Paramount were open in 1984 but both had closed by 1986.
The Paramount Closed in 1985. It was operated by Tentelino Theatres when it closed.
According to Movie Age of November 30, 1929, the new Publix house at Brainard was scheduled to open on December 15. It was, the magazine said, “…an atmospheric theatre with open sky and twinkling star effects.”
