From what I found this theatre opened in 1942. Seating listed at that time was 375.

Here is an item from the Abilene Reporter-News in March 1945:

No major damage resulted from a fire in the projection room of the
Grand theater, 441 Walnut, Sunday about 4:30 p.m. It was the second
fire reported at the theater in three weeks.

The Grand is patronized by negroes every day during the week except
Wednesday and Sunday when Spanish films are shown for Mexican people.
