This theatre is incredible, it is an old time experience, straight out of the 60's. even standing outside of it is a wonderful thing to do. Catch a movie there while you are in town if you can. Not sure but they used to have $1nights. The inside is incredible even without a move on! Such an experience.

Well, my sister got married here many years ago, and so it always holds a dear place in my heart. We used to drive over on occasion for a new movie, mostly for the neat atmosphere. The sound was always the same quality as those in a more modern theater, but the carpeted balcony for $0.50 extra, the cheap ticket... More

This is a real treat if you're in the Anaconda area. An old time theater experience with new movies. There was even an intermission during the middle of the movie which is how it was in the old days. Tickets and snacks were extremely reasonable. Balcony seating is available for an additional 50 cents. Step back in time and enjoy... More

This is a wonderful functioning old theatre with architecture and decor you are not likely to see anywhere else these days. And the prices are just as delightful as the venue!

So worth going.The theater is one of a kind.All original and for just a few cents more you can sit in the balcony away from children, teenagers too if desired! Popcorn and "incidentals" are very reasonable in price for going to the show. Only $4.00 tickets on weekends!!! Real gem this is! You get an intermission half way through movie... More

One of the best theaters I've ever been to. Amazing architectural elements along with affordable tickets and concessions. Balcony seating is a great treat.

We love to go to this theater and sit up in the balcony area. Tickets and food are Way cheaper than other theaters. The historic quality makes this place a must see.

Something for all ages and tastes: an elegant, orginal Art Deco theater complete with murals, carved wood and metal ornamentation, velvet curtains, crystal chandeliers, and etched mirrors to satisfy the art lover and a working theater that shows current movies with inexpensive snacks. For $10 you can see a new movie, get popcorn, candy, and pop. The only problem is... More

A beautiful art deco theater tucked away in tiny Anaconda Montana. Just off of I-90, about 20 miles west of Butte. Don't miss it, it's well worth seeing. Usually during the day someone is there, and will let you go in an look around. Or see amovie in the evening...the price is like $4 or $5 for a first run... More
