Paradise Theatre

The Paradise Theatre opened its doors in either December 1946 or January 1947. Although its opening date remains unconfirmed, a surviving opening day photo was found online with its marquee showing Oliva de Havilland in “To Each His Own” as its first film (unknown if extras added). The theater itself was built by Ben Krawiecki Sr.

The single-screen, 6,800 square foot Paradise Theatre in Mora, Minnesota, is among the projects listed in the theater section of the portfolio of the St.Paul architectural firm Vanney Associates. No other details are given about the project. Robert F. Vanney is the lead architect of the firm.
