When I was growing up in Red Lodge (1955-1965), it was run by two sisters with the last name Roman. Did the same family operate it for over fifty years? Fond memories of the Saturday afternoon matinees of Roy Rogers cowboy movies.

While the Roman may very well be the oldest continually operating movie theater in Montana it is very definately not the only small town theater still operating in Montana. There is a theater in Hardin, Forsyth, White Sulpher Springs and quite a number of other single screeners still going strong in Montana and the small population in these town is whats kept them going. There is no room nor a need for anything much over two screen in any small Montana town.
