On July 10, 1948, Boxoffice reported that Jim Nelson, who managed both the Onate Theatre and Cortez Theatre in Belen, was using a monthly calendar listing for coming attractions for both.
The 1950 Film Daily Year Book included two theatres in Belen: the Onate Theatre and the 470-seat Cortez Theatre. The Cortez Theatre was still open in 1952, but had closed by 1955.

Boxoffice of October 2, 1948 ran an item about the ninth anniversary of the Onate Theatre which also had this information about the Cortez: “Manager Jim Snelson also showed a full week’s program at the Cortez Theatre for the week of the anniversary celebration. The Cortez was to get a change in policy at a later date for the showing of Spanish language pictures on Tuesday nights and English language films on other playnights. The house will be closed on Wednesday and Thursday.”
