When I was at Ft. Dix in the early 60s first run movies were not “late”.

This is first opened as “Theatre No. 1”, before it was renamed the Wilson Theater on March 11, 1959 named in honor of Richard G. Wilson, an aidman from Medical Company of the 187th.

During the late-1950s, Fort Campbell had a total of three movie theaters, named Theatre No. 1, Theatre No. 2, and Theatre No. 3. There was also a performing arts house as well called the Fort Campbell Theatre. Theatre No. 3 closed in October 1957, leaving Fort Campbell with two movie theaters, with both of them having names a few years later, which were the Wilson (No. 1) and the Mann (No. 2).

This theater is physically in Tennessee, where Normandy Blvd (26th) splits with Chaffee Rd (25th). The base crosses the state line.
