Columbia Theatre

The Columbia Theatre was demolished in 1908 to make way for the Pinney Theatre. I’m not sure it ever ran movies, though from 1896 many stage theaters did run programs of movies as special events, and touring vaudeville shows often had a reel of movies as part of their programs for many years. The only dedicated movie houses I’ve found reference to in Boise in 1908 were called the Crystal and the Dreamland.
