I am having an exhibit to honor this ‘grand’ old lady of the art deco era June 30-August 6 in Westfield NY. Collecting and finding artifacts continues to be a ‘Labor of Love’. A reception will be held June 30 from 6-8 with light refreshments at the Lake Shore Center for the Arts.

The Grand was my hometown theatre and I miss it. Wish I could post the exhibit poster for Remembering the Grand.

Many theatres through the years offered what was advertised as Bank Night. Can anyone tell me its history/origin in re: to theatres?

The address is incorrect. It should be 2 North Portage. It is not closed. It was, sadly, demolished in 1992.
