I am from Chinook, Montana and I worked at The Blaine Theatre while in high school (1976-79). As far as I know, The Blaine Theatre was open until around 1980 or 81. Leon Eliason was the owner of both The Blaine Theatre and The Red Rock Drive In. The old theatre is now The Blaine County Wildlife Museum.
