The new Gifts Theater had an invitational unveiling on the night of November 23rd, 1917, and opened to the public the next day, with “Polly of the Circus” as the feature attraction.
Mr Frank E. Lanius of Covington,Kentucky taught Marcus Loew what a nickelodeon was in the early 1900’s, Loew went on to own 400 theaters across the country. Mr. McMahon worked as a projectionist in Covington as well. Later Isaac McMahon went into Real Estate.
Well, I remember the Grand very well! You guys seem to know your stuff. I learn a lot reading these blogs. Hope you keep it going.
Here'sabit of a correction on the Gifts Theater it was built by Jackson&McMahon but in 1917 not 1921.Also the architect is Tietig&Lee.
