Two Pendleton movie houses bore the name Cosy Theatre between 1906 and 1919. A house in the 200 block of S. Main Street, opened in 1908 as the Orpheum Theatre, was renamed the Cosy on April 23, 1916. The first Cosy had been taken over by a new owner in 1915, remodeled and expanded, and renamed the Temple Theatre, which opened on September 27 that year. The first Cosy/Temple was at approximately 348 S. Main Street.

The Temple Theatre operated until mid-April, 1917, then reopened after a few days as the Arcade Theatre, which was still listed in the FDY in 1926 (with 350 seats) but was gone in 1927. The building is still standing, though much remodeled, the theater space being occupied by part of a large hardware store.
