This is now called the Little Chicago club, the hottest new Bar in Mandan.
“The Last Unicorn” I remember that summer movie and couldn’t figure out how GCC got it.Nice looking theatre.Hope they did some business.
I’ve had no luck finding a confirmation of the address, but the June 6, 1977, issue of Boxoffice has a list of theater projects completed during 1976, and it includes the Showboat Cinema 2 at Mandan, with 144 seats. As the item doesn’t mention a Showboat Cinema 1, I suspect the new screen might have been in an addition or in space annexed from an adjacent building rather than carved from the existing auditorium.
Boxoffice of December 2, 1974, said that the former Mandan Theatre had reopened as the Showboat Cinema in mid-November, following a $100,000 renovation. It was a single-screen house with 412 seats. The Mandan Theatre had originally been built by Frank Wetzstein.
Photos of the Showboat Theatre appeared in Boxoffice of June 30, 1975.
This is a 2009 photo.
Here is a website for the Mysteria Theater. This one is spelled with an “er”.
I recently passed by the former Mandan Theatre(Now called the Mysteria Theatre) and it seems that the renovations are complete, they are just looking for employees. Will post pictures at a later date.
The Mandan opened in 1936.
This 10/7/07 article presumably refers to the Mandan as the other theater on Main Street is still open:
