The Grand Theatre was probably Camas' first theatre specifically designed for presenting motion pictures. Opened in the early-1920’s it was still open in 1928, but had closed by 1929. It was no longer in the city directories in the 1930’s.

The Grand Theatre was listed at Camas, Washington in the 1914-1915 American Motion Picture Directory. The only other theater listed was the Camas Opera House. No details were provided for either venue. I’ve been unable to find any mentions of the Grand in theater industry trade journals.
A 1922 Sanborn map shows “Motion Pictures” in a good-sized building at 225-227 4th St. (now NE 4th Ave.) adjacent to the Grand Central Hotel. The building on the site now, housing Camas Vision Centre, may be the original structure, but I’m not positive. The theater building was wooden, but the current structure has at least a façade made of brick, which could have been added to the wooden building. The only other movie theater on the 1922 map is the Opera House, so 225-227 had to have been the Grand.
