The Strand was located on the corner of E. Jackson and Walnut and the Rivoli was located a block away on Mulbrerry & E. Jackson

The Rivoli was located on Mulberry Street and East Jackson approximately one quarter of a mile from the Strand. Here is a 1930 photo of the Strand.
A Page theater organ was installed in the Strand Theater in Muncie in 1924.
CORRECTION, seats is listed as 1, but it states “The auditorium seated in the neighborhood of 500.”.
From 1970 to 1976 (the years I lived in Muncie), the Strand ran a lot of United Artists product including the Bond films. I remember seeing a sold out DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER where the management was selling SRO tickets and setting up folding chairs in the aisles and back of the house!
