The Granada Theatre opened in 1934. It was designed by the Boller Brothers architectural firm of Kansas City. It was operated by Commonwealth Amusement from at least 1941 to 1950.
The Granada officially opened as a nightclub in 1993. Currently the Granada hosts live music and DJs. Not much of the original theatre remains, the decorative plaster has been removed. A bar is set up in the lobby, the restrooms are still located in the balcony.

Here is a recent photo of the Granada Theater.
Original facades of the Lawrence, KS, GRANADA Theatre and Oklahoma City’s PLAZA Theatre are somewhat identical. Boller Bros designed both of these movie houses.
Seating capacity for each cinema was around 900, though I doubt the interiors matched as the Plaza did not have a balcony.
