Help the Fallon This article was published on 04.30.15 University of Nevada, Reno professor Howard Rosenberg spoke at a benefit screening of The Hundred Foot Journey at Churchill County High School to raise money for the restoration of the Fallon Theatre, designed by architect Frederick DeLongchamps. Opened in 1920 as the Rex, the theater was renovated in 1930 to adapt from silent movies and vaudeville to sound movies. It originally was one theater with an orchestra and a pitched balcony. It has been converted to two theaters. Rosenberg called the Fallon Theatre a “small movie palace,” akin to the ornate movie palaces in large cities, but smaller in scale.PHOTO/DENNIS MYERS More Local Stories » News Pic Washed up Famous Murphy's longtime home is in a pile.
