March 13 – On this day in Montana history in 1962 “The World
Theater” dedicated to “showing unique films from all over the world” opened in
Billings. One of the first features was “Tunes of Glory” an English film
starring Alec Guiness, who would go on to achieve fame as Obi-wan Kenobi in Star Wars. Billing itself as an “art
theatre” there was a “coffee hour” before each movie, and the Billings Art
Association maintained an art display in the lobby.
