This is the Hollywood Theater, not the Video. photos here: http://www.cinematour.com/tour/us/26317.html

For years it was the premier theater in Western Minnesota booking all the good movies weeks/months before the little towns surrounding Montevideo. It had a large screen, and seating which would now be described as stadium, the choice seats being above ‘the lift’ as it was called. It even booked at the time ‘racy’ films such as Dr. Zhivago which was daring by some standards. Also, Woodstock and MASH played there in the late ‘60’s which drew crowds from far and wide.
