There is a Grand Opera House listed under Danville in the 1897-98 edition of the Julius Cahn Official Theatrical Guide. Is it the same as the Lincoln Opera House? (there are no street addresses in this Guide, unfortunately). The Grand OH had 1,000 seats, gas and electric illumination, was located on the first floor, had a proscenium opening 32 feet square, and a stage 40 feet deep. There were 7 in the house orchestra, tickets priced at 25 cents to $1. A. Heinly was the house Mgr. The 1897 population of Danville was 18,000.
