Good luck finding the source for the photo. It does look familiar to me.

The photo also says grand opening, was that the opening of the Hollywood Premiere, it surely wasn’t the Grand Opening of the Theatre. If the photo source was listed maybe that could be checked out.

And what would the source be for that photo?

The Wirthman Building and Isis Theater were originally constructed in 1918 as a two-story building. The additional stories were added later. It appears it was done sometime between 1918-27, since the additional stories appear in photos taken in 1927.

I don’t know. You might want to check with the KCMO public library. They appear to have an impressive collection on local history. I know that in the past they had an exhibit on movie theaters. They probably have old issues of newspapers on microfilm too.

KCK were some of the upper floors of the Isis building destroyed during one of the fires? It seems that from picture to picture the building went from several floors to just a couple floors.
