The Grand Theater is listed in the 1955 Film Daily with 813 seats.
From Boxoffice magazine, May 1950:
STAMFORD, TEX-The Grand Theater here, recently purchased by H&H Theaters from Robert Brown of Abilene, has been closed for remodeling which is expected to be completed in about two months. The building will be lengthened 25 feet and converted into a stadium-type structure. Changes at the front of the house will include shifting of the box office and installation of a refreshment bar. Refinements in the auditorium will include new carpeting, indirect lighting and wall murals. A larger screen will be installed. Sandy Hodges is co-owner of the house.

I believe the area code for the phone number listed should be 915.
They run a different movie every week. I saw “Christmas With the Kranks” when I was in Stamford visiting my grandparents in December 2004. Tickets are only $3. I think there were only 2 people working there. You buy your tickets at the concession counter. Some of the seats need to be repaired. The balcony was closed. I don’t know why. Overall it was a wonderful experience. Hopefully it can remain open for years to come.
The Grande Theater in Stamford, Tx is open Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday every week. The neon lights in the front have been fixed.
