The Time Theatre is listed in the 1937 FDY, but with no seating capacity given. As it was included in the 1937 Yearbook, it could have opened before the end of 1936. It might have been this project noted in the September 17, 1936 issue of Film Daily: “Mitchell, S. D.— Work is underway on the Mitchell, leased by Baron Brothers from Minnesota Amusement Co., Minneapolis.”
In addition to the Time, the Roxy, and the Paramount, the 1937 FDY lists a 350-seat house called the Lyric at Mitchell.
I worked at the Time Theater in 1952-53 and I think it was converted to a beauty parlor by 1960 and I see it is a pizza by the slice shop now. I also drove a cab in Mitchell in 1959 and I am amazed to see that the entire block which contained the cab office/garage, cafe, and some bars has been razed except for the old James Hotel (now the Navin)
