The Photoplay is located in the east side of the square, operating from January 1911 until 1917. There is also another movie house that didn’t last long called the Grand Theatre, lasting from around 1916 until 1917.
The Photoplay did had very minor fire damage in July 1913 but did not suffer any damage at all, due to the fact that the firemen from the Nevada Fire Department was doing exercises at the front of the Photoplay when all of the sudden, they did witness a fire started up at the “engine” (projection) room. It was later confirmed that the fire was caused by burning trash in the alley.
Opened with both Walt Disney’s “The Jungle Book” and “Charlie, The Lonesome Cougar”. It was later operated by Hoyts, and closed for the final time on May 5, 1988 when the Arnot Mall 10 opened nearby the following day.
Opened on May 26, 1971. There is also another twin-screen indoor theater that operated in the 1970s and 1980s in nearby Jamestown, but unfortunately I cannot identify the theater because I only found it in showtimes.
