I believe this theatre was in operation prior to the 1950’s. The auditorium is quonset hut style, there must have been a remodel on the front end of the the theatre therefore the Trail verticle might be an original for the theatre.
The address:
302 Main St.
New Town, ND. 58763.

Just an observation: It looks as if the vertical neon sign is older than the actual theater building. The building looks to be of 50s vintage—late 50s at that—but the sign looks to be of late 30s through 40s vintage. Perhaps there was an earlier Trail Theatre, at this location or another, and the sign was salvaged from the earlier building? The chocolate tones of both building and sign are of course from the 70s.
