The Mission Theatre was opened on July 1, 1922. On January 31, 1937 it was renamed Dells Theatre. It was listed as (Closed) in 1941, but had reopened by 1943 and continued until closing on October 26, 1958 with Cary Grant in “Indiscreet” & The Bowery Boys in “Looking for Danger”. Aside from an advertising flyer and the knowledge that it was somewhere on Main Street, it seems to be forgotten even by Dells residents.

The Mission Theatre opened its doors on July 1, 1922 and was renamed the Dells Theatre on January 31, 1937 with Greta Garbo in “Camille” (which formerly had its world premiere at the Fox Wisconsin Theatre in Milwaukee a few weeks prior) with no extras.
The Dells Theatre closed for the final time on October 26, 1958 with Cary Grant in “Indiscreet” and the Bowery Boys in “Looking For Danger” along with an unnamed cartoon and a newsreel due to “popular demand” as was said by then-owner Don Deakin alongside a sign that was hooked on the entrance door by him.
