The Grand Theatre was a vaudeville theatre, housed in the Schworm Building in Massillon. It was operating as a movie theatre before 1929, continuing as a movie theatres until 1951. It was then used for special events and finally closed in 1957. It was converted into a J.C/ Penney store.

I’ve found a reference to the Grand Theatre in Massillon operating as early as 1923.
If the spelling of the town’s name is corrected (it takes a double “s”), this house will be able to join its companions.
The Grand stopped showing films in 1951. The Grand apparently enough then became a special events/politician house until ultimately closing its doors for the final time in 1957. The Grand then became a JCPenney in 1958.
