Robert Boller, with his brother Carl, formed a Kansas City architecture firm that designed over ninety theaters in Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas, as well as now-demolished movie palaces in Pueblo and Colorado Springs. Their Art Deco theater for Boulder has a stucco facade and upper-level vertical panels of polychrome terracotta. Yellow and white fans above blue and green bases rise from the protruding marquee, which is trimmed in bands of neon. The theater incorporates brick from the demolished Curran Opera House (1906), which stood on the site. The interior retains some Art Deco murals of desert plants in pastel shades, under walls painted with southwestern designs. Upstairs, the balcony has a Deco mahogany bar put into use when this movie house, closed in 1982, reopened as a cabaret with live concerts in 1988.
