Looks like there were two indoor theaters in Center, according to this note in the July 19, 1947 Motion Picture Herald: “Herb Gumper wants permit for second theatre in Center, Colo.”
Boxoffice, Feb. 19, 1949: “Herbert Gumper hopes to be able to open his new 450-seat Fawn, Center, Colo., by Easter.”
Boxoffice, April 30, 1949: “CENTER, COLO. – The 434-seat New Center Theatre has opened here following a year of construction work. Owned by Mr. and Mrs. Herb Gumper, the New Center is housed in a 50x20-foot two-story building which houses, in addition to the auditorium, projection booth, cry room and restrooms, two small store spaces on the ground floor and an apartment and three office spaces on the second floor. The Fawn, which has served Center for the past 20 years, will be closed for the present, but will be reopened during the potato harvest in the fall, it was reported.”
