Colonial Theatre (Idaho Falls, Idaho)
The Colonial Theater is a historic theater in Idaho Falls, Idaho, founded in 1919 as a venue for live performances. From 1929 until 1990, it operated as a movie theater under the name The Paramount Theater. In the 1990s, the theater was renovated, and its original name was restored. It is currently part of the Willard Arts Center arts complex, owned and operated by the Idaho Falls Art Council.
==History==

After the citizens of Idaho Falls voted to change the city's name, in 1891, residents began talking about building a theater which could host vaudeville acts, road shows, and musical performances. In 1919, three local men, C.A. Spath of the Farmers and Merchant Bank, Dr. C.M., Cline, and S.K. Mittry, a local contractor, put up the money and materials to build the Colonial Theater, at a final cost of $175,000.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.idahofallsarts.org/historic-colonial-theater )〕 The structure was built of steel, reinforced concrete, and brick, with a handsomely designed ivory colored terracotta front. It was billed as the largest theater in the Intermountain West, with an orchestra pit, eight dressing rooms, and 1,400 leather-upholstered mahogany seats. A modern ramp led to the balcony where 600 of the seats were located as well as four box seats. Because the theater was designed before modern public address systems were invented, the acoustics were designed to be superb.
The theater opened on November 10, 1919, with the contemporary play ''John Ferguson'', by Irish playwright St. John Greer Ervine. C.H. Lewis served as the Colonial's first manager.〔
In 1929, the theater was converted to a movie house, and renamed the Paramount Theater. The first moving picture shown at the theater was in November 1929, Harold Lloyd's ''Welcome Danger''. It was originally a silent film but at its preview it was eclipsed by a one-reel comedy with sound. Through the 1960s and 1970s the Paramount continued showing the latest in motion pictures. The ushers would dress in costumes that reflected whatever movie was being shown. It was run as a discount theater in the 1980s and finally by 1990 it was in such disrepair it was closed down. The Paramount Theater remained empty until 1994. There was talk of leveling the theater and building a parking garage.
