PARAMOUNT FILM SERIES

The landmark Paramount Theatre was built in 1930 as a first run movie theatre. Its elegant, atmospheric design features a beautiful, gilded proscenium and neon lit ceiling, transporting audiences to a Spanish/Moorish courtyard at night, complete with twinkling stars and passing clouds. It is a truly unique movie-going experience and a significant part of film history in the southwest.

Friday, May 9 @ 7:30 PM

Our 2025 FILM SERIES continues with a special partnership with Western Heritage Classic weekend. We will be screening the American western film, TRUE GRIT.

After hired hand Tom Chaney (Jeff Corey) murders the father of 14-year-old Mattie Ross (Kim Darby), she seeks vengeance and hires U.S. Marshal Rooster Cogburn (John Wayne), a man of true grit, to track Chaney into Indian territory. As the two begin their pursuit, a Texas Ranger, La Boeuf (Glen Campbell), joins the manhunt in hopes of capturing Chaney for the murder of a Texas senator and collecting a substantial reward. The three clash on their quest of bringing to justice the same man.
