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.

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.

According to this 2002 article from the Purcell Register, the Metcalf family, which already owned the Ritz, Metro and McClain (formerly the Dooley) Theaters in Purcell, took over the Brown Opera House and rebuilt it as the Canadian Theater in 1945. The article says the Canadian closed as a movie theater in the mid-70s.
