The Isis is being reopened as a concert restaurant venue. They have installed a beautiful marquee and a duplicate of the original sign that reads Isis. Will upload a photo as soon as I can.

From Joe’s article that would make the theatre opening in December, 1937. The Isis closed in Feb. 1961.

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.”

Interesting that they would be showing movies that were almost one year old in a new theater.
