Maybe the theater closed and opened again. A web search returns a number of businesses at this address including Allen Theatres. One of life’s mysteries. :)

So if “Mystery Alaska” which came out in 1999, is pictured on the marquee in Lost Memory’s inauguaral 2005 post, when did the Allen Theater finally close?
The theater header/bio still indicates “closed in the 1970’s”.
Don Lewis' 1988 “The Dead Pool” pic also debunks that time frame.

Good point, I didn’t think of that. So far, function could be beauty salon and office space. The $64 question is, what is located in Suite A if there is one?

I think with a suite number it must be.

The Allen Cameo Theatre is located at 734 W Broadway, Farmington, NM. There is also a listing for Allen Theatres at 208 West Main Street. Could it be office space for Allen Theatres?

This ad shows the Cameo at the Allen address. Maybe a typo. The theater is in Suite B, and there is a hair salon in Suite C at 208 W. Main:

In 1963, Allen Theatres also operated the Apache Twin Drive-In, the Valley Drive-In and the Totah, all in Farmington.
