The Grand Theatre was built in 1920 launching for Dan Craven on January 13, 1921. A Robert Morgan pipe organ was installed four months later. The Grand installed sound to stay viable. The New Grand Theatre relaunched March 24, 1935 with Will Rogers in “Life Begins at 40.” Paramount Publix held the lease of the theater briefly before selling it. When the Rialto closed, its name was apparently then moved to the Grand.

Yes, the Norfolk Community Theater is now the owner of this once grand theater, originally called The Grand. It was later known as The Rialto, The Cinema, and The Cinema III. Renamed The Grand, renovation work has begun, including removal of the false facade which has revealed the original facade. View link
