The Welden Theatre opened its doors on September 27, 1937 with Joe Penner in “The Life Of A Party” along with an unnamed cartoon, a few shorts, and a newsreel.

The Theatre Historical Society archive has the MGM Theatre Report for the Welden; it’s Card # 591. Address is 104 Main St. There is an exterior photo dated April 1941. Condition is Good. It says the theater opened in 1935 and is not showing MGM films There were 500 seats. Competing theateres were the Empire and the Bellevue, but a report was done only for the Empire, and not for the Bellevue. The 1940 population of St. Albans was 8,000.
