This former movie house in downtown Purcell now houses an antique mall. Its exterior has recently been restored to its 1940s appearance.

In the early sixties the Canadian was operated by the K. Lee Williams theater chain. This chain also operated the McClain and the Sky-Vue Auto Theater in Purcell at the time.

Went in it today; Big place. Still has part of the original curtains (took pics) Interesting color scheme. Kind of a rose color with triangles depicting arrowheads. Also found another, older theater down the street.
