Medford’s first full time movie theatre launched on April 12, 1913 as the Alvo Theatre, J.T. Henderson took on the operation in 1923. The Henderson family operated the town’s cinema business for decades converting it to sound in 1929. The venue got a major refresh in 1938 with new seating. The Alvo moniker lasted into the TV age. They Hendersons operated the local cinema as the Mawil Theatre in the 1950s and 1960s. Eventually the theatre closed and became a florist.
