Listed in the Film Daily Yearbook editions of 1941 and 1943 as the 1,000 seat, New Willmar Theater. Still open in 1950, the Willmar Theater was located in the downtown area between a Woolworth store and a hotel. The outside ticket booth along with the entrance was sheltered by an overhang that had a marquee on each end. "Willmar" was spelled out on a large verticle sign that was taller than the theater building.
