Silver Screens on the Prairies: An Illustrated History of Motion Picture Theatres in Manitoba

For more than a century, Manitobans have gathered in theatres across the province to thrill to the magic of motion pictures. Movie houses have ranged from luxurious “picture palaces” to convenient neighbourhood cinemas. Most towns and villages, some with only a few hundred residents, had their own theatres or commandeered community halls. 

In the 1950s, drive-in theatres provided steamy-windowed memories that have outlived the sometimes-precarious screens. 

After a 33-year career as a teacher and principal in Manitoba’s public school system, Russ Gourluck is now pursuing writing. He is the author of The Mosaic Village: An Illustrated History of Winnipeg’s North End, A Store Like No Other: Eaton’s of Winnipeg and Going Downtown: A History of Winnipeg’s Portage Avenue as well as Picturing Manitoba: Legacies of The Winnipeg Tribune.
