Minatare did once suffer without a movie theater for several months after the Strand Theatre got destroyed by a fire in September 1924. The Opera House reopened as a movie theater following remodeling on May 23, 1925 as the New Theatre, reopening with “When A Man’s A Man” (unknown if extras added). It was named the New Theatre due to the management not giving the name yet at the time of opening.
It wasn’t until June 18, 1925 when a theater-naming contest was held, and a grand total of 31 people selected the Grand Theatre name, presented by Phil Fulton.
