The state of Wisconsin is unique in the number of historic movie theatres that remain standing today. Many are still open, bringing a sense of history, giving modern moviegoers an experience that simply cant be replicated by multiplexes and mall theatres. This book provides a reference guide to Wisconsins historic movie theatres, from those built as opera houses, auditoriums, and community halls in the mid-19th century to the ornate "movie palaces" of the 1930s and, finally, the quickly and cheaply constructed postwar theatres constructed in the 1950s. More than 900 Wisconsin theatres are arranged alphabetically by town in entries that provide the theatre's name(s), location, number of seats, and opening and closing dates. A historical overview including information specific to each town or county provides a more complete snapshot of the communities which supported these historic theatres and were in turn affected by them. The book includes more than 400 photographs which demonstrate the different styles of theatres still standing throughout the state, including both original and present-day views of the theatres listed.
