Status should be demolished. Google Street View shows the building last standing in 2015, gone by 2019 and replaced with a new structure in 2022.
Boxoffice, Aug. 27, 1949: “The Warren has been opened here by Warren Gavin, owner and operator. The theatre is in a new building constructed of pumice stone and seats 512 persons. A fountain service is included in the building and can be entered without purchasing a theatre ticket. It also has a cry room. The Warren is the sixth theatre to operate in Missoula.”
Boxoffice, Sept. 2, 1974: “Bozeman, Mont.,-based Theatre Operators has taken over the operation of the old Golden Horn Theatre in Missoula, Mont. The facility is being completely rebuilt with new floors, new seating, new screen, new booth equipment, new front and new marquee. The theatre, which is scheduled for a mid-September reopening, will be known as the World Theatre.”
This reopened as the Silver Theatre in 2015 with live shows and movies. Unfortunately the roof collapsed under the weight of snow in February 2017 and the theatre was closed and demolished.
