Joe, I think the theatre was actually located on 4th St., If you map Front St. and look up 4th you can see the theatre. So The book had the wrong address.
11 S. Central is the Rose Petal Floral & Gifts, there is no marquee over the entrance. There is a overhead over two buildigns across the street though but that would be the wrong side of the street
This theatre goes back to 1938 when it was known as the Park Theatre and seated 199. It became the State Theatre in 1940 with seating listed the same at 199. The address was 208 Park St. Gardiner, MT 59030.
The Hartwig Theatre originally had a 2/4 Style 135A Wurlitzer (opus #224) installed in 1919. The instrument was later moved to a local church.
The organ is currently installed in the Nevada City Music Hall.
The Hartwig was located on N. Idaho St., the name was changed to Roberta in 1951 and the theatre closed in 1955. This should be listed as the Roberta Theatre with an AKA of Hartwig Theatre.
In April 1926, the Lincoln Theatre in Mount Vernon opens for business. Located at 712 S 1st Street, the venue costs roughly $100,000 to build, almost 25 percent of which represents the purchase of a Wurlitzer organ. Designed by architect William Aitken, the Lincoln exhibited a Spanish motif inside and out, with an interior swathed in blues, yellows, and reds.
Furnishings and equipment for the venue cost a reported $32,500, making the Lincoln not only one of the most impressive buildings in Mount Vernon, but a genuine source of local pride. “Nothing like it has ever been constructed before,” gushed one paper, “… the theatrical world is setting back astounded.”
In addition to screening motion pictures through the years, the Lincoln also distinguished itself as a vaudeville house, particularly in the 1930s when it was part of the West Coast vaudeville circuit. Proving the old business adage that success is a function of location, it was a considerable help that the city of Mount Vernon is nicely situated between the larger theatrical stopovers of Vancouver, B.C. and Seattle.
Although the Lincoln closed in the mid-1980s and faced an uncertain future, local groups rallied behind the venue and established the Lincoln Theatre Center Foundation. A tax-exempt organization, the Foundation engineered the restoration and reopening of the Lincoln in 1987, in large part due to the fundraising and volunteer efforts of the greater Mount Vernon community.
Today (2003) the Lincoln Theatre continues to serve the residents of Mount Vernon as a local performing arts center.
