The Uptown Theatre was at 120 S. Merrill Avenue. It opened in 1930 as the Rex Theatre. Until that year, the building at 120-122 S. Merrill had supported a wood-framed second floor which housed the Glendive Opera House, a 200-seat venue that had spent its last years as a speakeasy. This page from the Glendive Ranger-Review web site has a brief history of the building. Unfortunately, the slide show that originally accompanied it is no longer displayed.

The Uptown and the Rose were operated by Joe Moore in 1935. These two theatres plus the Skylark Drive-In were operated by Lewis Moore in the 1940s.

Uploaded a partial shared ad of the Rose and the Uptown from the Golden Valley News dated December 30, 1943.
