This beautiful theatre originally opened on March 15, 1926. It first played “Charlie’s Aunt” with Syd Chaplin. Tom Mix and his Wonder Horse Tony appeared on stage here as well.
Remodeled in 1937 by architects Liebenberg & Kaplan in an Art Deco style. For years it has been home to a twice annual silent movie night, in which classics like the “Phantom of the Opera”, “Ella Cinders”, “The Thief of Bagdad”, and “The General” are accompanied by an original live score on the Fargo’s mighty Wurlitzer pipe organ.

Thanks for posting the new pics of the Fargo Theatre’s interior, Lost Memory. Looked at the newer pictures of the interior of the Fargo Theatre—it looks just as cool inside as out. Loved them.

Thers snow business like snow business.
In 1993 the Fargo Theatre was the only Red River Valley area Theatre to boast a 70mm Projection system.Funded in part by a Grant from Great Plains Software.The first 70mm movie was “Lawrence of Arabia” The David Lean Classic.This comes from Boxoffice Nov.1989.
Sorry Guys,I caught my mistake, It is not 1993,BUT 1989.
This theatre was featured today on the Weather Channel when Mike Sidell broadcast in front of the theatre…could see the vertical marquee.
This theatre has also been featured in a recent Travel magazine.
