This small neighborhood theatre in West Asheville has an Art Deco style facade. It operated from the late-1930’s. In the early 1940’s, it was operated by Paramount Pictures Inc. through their subsidiary Carl Bamford. The Isis Theatre was closed in 1957.
It has been remodeled for a variety of retail uses and currently houses a restaurant.

This is a circa 1937 photo of the Isis Theater.
Here is a new link for the 1937 photo.
The Isis was opened in January 1938 by Publix Theaters.
Interesting that they would be showing movies that were almost one year old in a new theater.
Boxoffice said, in its January 8, 1938, issue: “Asheville’s new $50,000 theatre, the Isis, held its formal opening December 27. The theatre was built by the Publix-Bamford Theatres and has a seating capacity of 555.”
From Joe’s article that would make the theatre opening in December, 1937. The Isis closed in Feb. 1961.
