"The El Cortez Theater was built in 1933 and had a seating capacity of 580. Within the first 10 years of operation, a gas explosion blew the front off the theatre. It was repaired and reopened.

It was closed for many, many years, but revitalized and re-opened in 1995 to show first-run movies once again.

This little town of Truth or Consequences, NM (pop. 7,500+), formerly Hot Springs, NM, and the little surrounding towns, have helped support it through the years with their generous attendence." (visit link)
