The Egyptian Theatre

The Egyptian Theatre in Delta, Colorado is an Egyptian Revival movie house. The 750-seat theater opened in 1928 at the height of the fashion for thematically-designed cinemas. It was designed by Montana Fallis, who designed the Mayan Theatre in Denver. A 1930′s sales promotion which started in Colorado was so successful that it expanded by 1936 to 4,000 other cinemas around the United States. After years of decline and neglect the theater was restored in the 1990s, reopening in 1997 as a community theater. It was then renovated again in 2009 to accommodate for new groundbreaking 3D technology. Come see this piece of history.
