In the era of multiplexes, the historic Eltrym Theatre in Baker City, Oregon (population 9,828) stands out. It is an operating example of the stylish, often unique movie houses that were built in the first half of the 20th century. The Eltrym opened in June of 1940 as a single screen, 400 seat theater. It currently has three screens.
Fifty miles north, in La Grande (population 13,026) the Granada Theatre, built in 1927, is still operation. The owners also operate the La Grande Drive-in, one of the last three drive in theatres operating in Oregon.
