Not sure whether this is the same place, but here’s a note from Motion Picture Herald, Oct. 4, 1947: “Arthur Goldstein takes over Chieftain, Strassburg (sic), Colo., from Virgil Ulrich, who quit to care for his ranch and other business.”

By the following June, Goldstein was submitting reviews of movies and shorts from the Chieftain Theatre.
