Harry B. Moore opened the Grand Family Theatre for the International Theatrical Circuit on December 24, 1906 with live vaudeville supported by short comedy films. “Family” was dropped in Sept. 1908 becoming the Grand. It appears to have closed sticking with vaudeville until November of 1927. It became a moviehouse in 1935.

What a bright and lively marquee. Very well designed.

A May 18, 1970, Boxoffice Magazine article about the groundbreaking for the Lark Theatre said that the Lark was a replacement for the Grand, and that the Grand was to be demolished after the opening of the new house.

Joseph E. Rosatti was the lead architect for the 1935 rebuilding of the Grand, with the Minneapolis firm of Liebenberg & Kaplan as consulting architects. The August, 1983, issue of Boxoffice Magazine featured an article about Jack Liebenberg which included a small photo of the Grand from around the time of its opening.
