This theatre appears to have gotten three secondhand Famous Players poster cases on the facade as part of a renovation in 2017.
Constructed in 1946 by F.L. Dupont of St. Lazare at a cost of around $15,000, and opened in October of that year by a Birtle man simply named Mr. Hairsine. It was first known as the Starduct Theatre, but was renamed the Strand Theatre in 1954 when it was sold to Chuck Doerr.
Doerr operated the Strand until 1955 when it was sold to a husband-and-wife team of simply named Mr. and Mrs. Kowbel. In 1979, it was taken over by a family led by Bill, Marilyn, and Bob Holden.
