Back issues of the World-Independent of Walsenburg verify that the Main “Your Hometown Theatre” existed. For example, on Aug. 20, 1954, itwas showing “Ramrod” with Joel McCrea and Veronica Lake.

I wonder whether this was renamed the Main, because the 1951 Film Daily Year Book lists three theaters for Walsenburg – Fox, 715 Main St.; Rialto, 613 Main St., and the Main, no address.

I’ve found a few other references to the Main, including this note in the Aug. 21, 1954 Motion Picture Herald: “Joe Giordano, owner of the Main, Walsenburg, Colo., is building a 250-car drive-in there.”
