Boxoffice, Oct. 20, 1956: “SILVERTON, COLO. – The Barlows, who run the Lode Theatre here, are convinced that it’s wise for business people to keep up with changing times. Since they remodeled their theatre this year to accommodate wide-screen projection, they say the quality of shows has been raised and the general improvements are paying off in increased customer support.”

This is a 1940 LOC photo of an abandoned theater in Silverton. I don’t believe this is the Lode, at least not the way it looks today.
