The 859-seat UTE 70 Theatre opened May 30, 1967 with “War Wagon.“ Even though it wasn’t called this at the time, Glatz’s architectural style based on his interviews is definitely that of Indigenous Architecture as it was designed to be a modern teepee with Native American flourishes throughout.

I saw two cinema classics here–the De Laurentiis KING KONG in December 1976, and AIRPORT ‘77 a few months later. I remember the theater being pretty impressive with a very large screen. Unfortunately, I moved from Colorado Springs before having a chance to see AIRPORT '79. (darn the luck!)

The Boxoffice article Tinsetoes linked to says that Richard L. Crowther & Associates were the on-site architects for this theater.

The Ute 70 Theatre was designed by Mel C. Glatz, in association with architect Maynard Rorman, according to a history of Cooper Theatres that was once available on the Cooper Foundation’s web site (it has since been removed.)
