This theatre goes back to when it opened in 1936 as the Underwood Theatre and later known as the Roxy before becoming the Rose Theatre in the early-1950’s. It should have AKA’s of Underwood Theatre and Roxy Theatre.

Chris1982 commented about Midway Drive-In on Jul 17, 2014 at 11:38 pm

This drive-in was built by the Aho Family who also owned and operated the Regis Theatre in Stanley. This drive-in was actually located on Highway 2 in Tioga, ND 58852. It closed in 1973 when a tornado took down the screen. Today all that remains is the concrete block building that contained the projection booth, the concessions stand and the rest rooms.

It is surprising that a town of a little over 500 could support a walk-in theatre and a drive-in. The drive-in was located on Highway 2.

The Grand Theatre goes back prior to 1926 when it seated 200. It was rebuilt in 1949 bringing the seating to 320. Since the remodel took place in 1949 it very well could have been a Quonset Hut style.
