Its official web site is once again listing this house as the Falls Theatre rather than the Falls Cinema. According to this article from Minnesota Public Radio News the new owners, Phil and Suzy Prosapio, are a local couple who have been involved in renovating and reinvigorating downtown Little Falls for some time, and they completely renovated the theater, restoring its 1933 Art Deco look, before reopening it on Friday, October 6, 2023. The opening feature on one of the three screens was “The Nuisance,” the romantic comedy that opened the house in 1933.
The NRHP registration form for the Little Falls Commercial Historic District attributes the design of the Falls Theatre to architect Perry Crosier.
The Falls Theatre is open again, with shows nightly plus matinees Saturday and Sunday. Here is the official web site.
CosmicBraxton, I have created a page for the Ripley Theatre if you could please post your photograph of the Ripley Theatre there. Many Thanks.

Just tried the phone number, its been disconnected. According to their Facebook page, their last day of operation before an unknown length of “temporary” closure was 7/16/2020. When I was in Little Falls MN this summer, the theater was still closed, and the marquee said “Closed until…. hollywood….”
According to the Facebook page, 2 of the 3 screens are digital.
A March 3, 2012, article in the Morris County Record said that the Lowell Theatre was opened in 1915, and was destroyed by a fire in January, 1933. The Falls Theatre was built on the same site, opening in June, 1933.
The April 8, 1933, issue of Motion Picture Herald said that a 750-seat theater was being built for the Lowell Theatre Company at Little Falls, Minnesota, to a replace their house that had been destroyed by a fire. Plans for the project were by Liebenberg & Kaplan.
According to their facebook page they are still open.
