Orlando had the Grand Theatre, but neighboring Winter Park was proud to have the Baby Grand Theatre. There is one picture of the exterior displayed at the Maitland Historical Museum. Otherwise, I haven’t been able to find out any further information regarding this small house.

Per a special exhibit at the Winter Park Historical Museum, the Baby Grand was built in 1911 for silent pictures by Mr. Beacham, who also owned theatres in Orlando. It had an organ, but it must have been small because the theatre was tiny.
A Robert-Morton theater organ was installed in the Baby Grand Theater in 1927.
In 1930 the Baby Grand Theater had 336 seats.
Irv, from what I found the Baby Grand closed in 1950. At that time it was operated by Florida State Theatres.
