This theater’s auditorium was used in Napolean Dynamite. I serviced the booth there on and off for several years. I will send in some pictures as soon as I find them.

I found the Grand Theatre at Preston mentioned in the January 3, 1978 issue of Boxoffice, which gave the name of its manager as Glen Peterborg. Back on February 26, 1956, Boxoffice had run a short item about the renovation of the Grand, which had new paneling and flooring in the lobby and a new concession stand. The Grand and Isis were under the same ownership at the time, and both houses were managed by L.J. “Jim” Ward.
Here’s a 2008 view of the operating GRAND: http://www.boxsetgallery.com/stein/index.html
