The Isis was located on N. Merrill Avenue just south of the Jordan Hotel. I have uploaded an image of the announcement of it’s forthcoming opening which appeared in the April 3, 1914 Yellowstone Monitor and two postcard images. In the earlier one the sign “Theater” can be seen. In the later, “Isis”.
Don’t know when the theater closed but the Rose was opened just a few doors down in the 1930s.
Uploaded a portion of an ad from the Golden Valley News of December 30, 1943 for the Rose and Uptown Theatres. Mention of these theatres occur frequently in local Obituaries as the site of meeting of future spouses or a place of work. Joe Moore operated the Rose and Uptown in 1935. In the 1940s these theatres and the Skylark Drive-In were operated by Lewis Moore.
Just saying the pandemic in general will be responsible for the closure of many theatres period. Local ordinances may also be too restrictive, such as New York’s, to overcome.
So, under Gov. Cuomo’s edict of 25% of capacity with a maximum of 50 persons per screen, we’re talking 25, 27, 26, 24 for a total of 102. No way can movie theatres survive.
According to Wikipedia, the Elite was created in space which previously housed a saloon around 1910. It was owned and operated by Mrs. Georgianna Higgins who is believed to be the first woman to own a theater.
I have uploaded photo, purported to be 1915, from the Nebraska Memories site of the Nebraska State Government.
Uploaded a joint ad with the Thompson in “Healdton, OK 1924”. This was a publication compiled and printed by local businessmen to tout the merits of Healdton.
The evidence is hazy but it would appear that the second theatre operated by Mr. Gauthier was in the second Union Hall Building which was built on the site of the first which had burnt down in 1877. Unfortunately the second Union Hall suffered the same fate on July 17, 1922, three years after a theatre was created by Mr. Gauthier.
The Rook Theatre was built by Charles Rook in 1927. He subsequently sold it to the Terry family who operated it until it’s closure in November 1985.
With a view toward opening a new theatre in town the Watonga State Bank and the Wheeler Brothers Grain Company purchased a building for possible conversion. The First State Bank provided $ 10,000 seed money. The building and the money were donated to the city.
It is thought that three screening rooms of varying sizes would be created with films booked so that one new one would be introduced each week. A consultant will be hired to design the configuration of the screening rooms.
The initial cost estimate of the conversion is $300,000.
I’ve been told that the owner shows a short film prior to the regular program paying homage to the theater which originally was on the site. Be nice to see it. Wonder if it’s on YouTube.

Looking at the photos of the Isis Theatre in Glendive it would appear that the Rose was located only one or two buildings further south.
