Here is a photo of the Martin Theater about 1917. It is the building in the center: C:\Documents and Settings\move\Desktop\My Pictures\Big Lot\dominion hotel and martin theater.gsv.jpg

THe Alden theatre was also known as the Martin. Don’t know when the name change occurred. About 1917 they installed a Wicks 3 manual, 8 rank pipe organ. I was told it was the largest theatre organ in the state at the time. The Wicks was removed possibly in the early 50’s and installed in the First Christian Church on 7th Ave in Phoenix.
I would love to see some interior photos of the Alden taken when it was new. I have been told it was a very deluxe theatre for a mining town. Don Story

The Alden Theater was actually built in 1910. Sorry about the mix up.
