The finding aid to the Liebenberg & Kaplan papers at the University of Minnesota lists this theater as the “Band Box (Field) 1939-1940”. Possibly it opened sometime earlier as the Field Theatre and was renamed the Bandbox after a remodeling job.
Extremely poor listing. This has not been demolished. The address is 217 Grand Ave. It seems to have been a remodel of a garage/dealership which appears on the 1924 map. Definitely open by 1941. Now a law office.
