The Fountain has 120 seats. The style is adobe, turn of the century (it was built in 1905) with hand-painted murals on the walls. It features 35mm, 16mm, and video projection with Dolby Digital sound on 35mm films. It was once the home of the Las Cruces Community Theater and the Desert Playwrights, interspersing live stage with motion pictures. The last few years (since 1995) have been strictly films with no live stage or music productions.
OK, I can live with that. I’ll get some of my photos dusted off and post them. I only have current photos, but I’ll send them along.

The Las Cruces Community Theater is a stage theater, no screen. It will never show movies. Why is it listed in a Cinema listing?
