Charm Theatre

The December 11, 1948 issue of Boxoffice noted the recent opening of the Charm Theatre in Payette, Idaho, but did not give the exact date. The 680-seat house had been designed by Fruitland, Idaho architect I. C. Whitley for owner William B. Blackaby. I haven’t found a closing date, but the obituary of a woman born in 1945 said that in her youth she had worked at the theater’s candy counter and in the ticket booth, so it had to have been open at least into the early 1960s.
