In 1910 construction of the Kalbfield’s Grand Theatre began on the site of the former Graham Hotel. The theatre served as both a town hall and a venue for live performances. Renamed Orpheum Theatre it later added film presentations to its offering but never made the move to sound presentations. It closed in the mid-1930’s and was converted to a furniture store and later was demolished for parking spaces.

The 1914-1915 American Motion Picture Directory lists both the Orpheum, at 110-112 Lemon Street, and Kalbfield’s Grand, no address given. This was probably a double listing resulting from the name change. Louis Kalbfield also owned the Howell Theatre, across the street from the Grand.
I found a reference that indicated it had a sliding roof.
