The Glacier Cinemas building in Cut Bank, a city of about 3,000 people in central
Montana. The theater opened in 1939 as the State Theatre with a single-screen auditorium seating 500. Cut Bank's unusual name was taken from a small creek that runs nearby, and it, in turn, is said to have been given by Native Americans to describe "the river that cuts into its white-clay banks."
