Minatare did once suffer without a movie theater for several months after the Strand Theatre got destroyed by a fire in September 1924. The Opera House reopened as a movie theater following remodeling on May 23, 1925 as the New Theatre, reopening with “When A Man’s A Man” (unknown if extras added). It was named the New Theatre due to the management not giving the name yet at the time of opening.
It wasn’t until June 18, 1925 when a theater-naming contest was held, and a grand total of 31 people selected the Grand Theatre name, presented by Phil Fulton.
Opened with Robert Ryan in “The Proud Ones” and Walter Brennan in “Goodbye My Lady” along with two unnamed cartoons. It was closed on August 7, 1983. It was once operated by Chris McGuire Cinemas and was last operated by Lam Operating Company.
Opened on June 29, 1951 with “Kansas Raiders” and “Undertow” (unknown if extras added) and closed on December 9, 1984. It was once operated by Chris McGuire Cinemas and later by Lam Operating Company.
It looks like the Vali-Hi had been closed since after the 2021 season. The website also appeared to be frozen, and Google Maps also show that the marquee sat empty ever since.
Opened on July 23, 1948 with Dennis Morgan in “Cheyenne” along with an unnamed Disney cartoon and a newsreel.
