- Aug 2, 2010 — Marshall Cinema closing
Dating from the 1920’s, the Marshall Cinema is now a three screen cinema located in the heart of Marshall, Mo. It was recently operated by B & B Theatres, but since 2010 it has been independently operasted.
It is a very well appointed and comfortable theatre even though it is small. The auditoriums are boxy but have good site lines and feature Dolby Surround sound in each.
It features first run attractions and has a full snack bar and game room.

Perhaps another auditorium was added, but based on the pictures of the marquee above and the one of it in this article, the theater appears to be a twin. B&B Theatres is closing this theater in Augist, 2010: http://www.marshallnews.com/story/1652138.html
Although the theater’s closing was announced by B&B Theatres in July, it will only be temporary. The theater shall reopen in October after renovations: http://www.marshallnews.com/story/1654456.html

I have never been inside this theatre, but have driven past it. If I recall correctly, the entrance to the 3rd auditorium is actually around the corner from the main entrance, and faces the side street. The entrance to the 1st and 2nd auditoriums are inside the front entrance, as shown in the photo above.
The Marshall is no longer part of B&B Theatres. Marshall Cinema is a hometown movie theater locally owned and operated in Marshall, MO. They strive to show the newest movies on Their new, all digital projectors with 3D capabilities. They are proud to be able to offer full surround sound and amazing picture clarity. They have a large variety of refreshments, including 15 different seasonings for your popcorn! Their website
This theatre goes back to the 1920’s when it was known as the Lee Auditorium when at that time sating was listed at 800.
It’s odd that such a large old theater has next to no history in its listing. B&B certainly came up with the dullest possible name. Their claims in 2010 that the building was over 100 years old are false. The 1910 Sanborn shows the lot occupied by a huge oval wooden dance hall/skating rink, which also occupied the space which is currently a furniture store next door to the theater. A construction date around 1915-20 looks likely based on the architecture.
