Mark55, The Roman theatre was “PROUD TO HAVE BEEN THE FIRST TO INTRODUCE WIDERANGE WESTERN ELECTRIC SOUND SYSTEM”. this on July 27.1934.“BOTTOMS UP” with Spencer Tracy was the movie playing.
While the Roman may very well be the oldest continually operating movie theater in Montana it is very definately not the only small town theater still operating in Montana. There is a theater in Hardin, Forsyth, White Sulpher Springs and quite a number of other single screeners still going strong in Montana and the small population in these town is whats kept them going. There is no room nor a need for anything much over two screen in any small Montana town.
