The Mission Theatre opened its doors on July 1, 1922 and was renamed the Dells Theatre on January 31, 1937 with Greta Garbo in “Camille” (which formerly had its world premiere at the Fox Wisconsin Theatre in Milwaukee a few weeks prior) with no extras.

The Dells Theatre closed for the final time on October 26, 1958 with Cary Grant in “Indiscreet” and the Bowery Boys in “Looking For Danger” along with an unnamed cartoon and a newsreel due to “popular demand” as was said by then-owner Don Deakin alongside a sign that was hooked on the entrance door by him.
