The Iris Theatre was opened prior to 1918 when it was being enlarged. Around 1935 it was renamed Ramona Theatre. It was still open in 1957. At some point, it obviously burned and found the Cinema West as its replacement, per this excerpt from the obituary for Samuel Nathaniel Wright (Thursday, December 25, 1924-Tuesday, July 16th, 2013) which was published by Gorman Funeral Homes:
“In order to make ends meet Sam also ran the projector at first the Ramona Theatre and after it burned downed, Cinema West for several years.”

The planned remodeling and expansion of the Iris Theatre at Wheatland was noted in this item from the May 4, 1918 issue of Moving Picture World: “Wheatland, Wyo.—An architect is now making plans for putting a balcony into the Iris theater, rebuilding the stage, installing a scientific ventilating system, putting in new lights, etc. The proposed improvement will increase the seating capacity to between 500 and 600.”
