A Murray Theatre was operating in this neighborhood at least as early as 1915, when it was listed in The American Motion Picture Direcotry, though at 3202 E. 27th. Newspaper ads from 1915 give the location as 27th and Walrond Avenue. The Murray was at 3206 27th by the time the 1919 city directory was printed.
Closed for good on Monday, May 14, 1951, with John Drew Barrymore in HIGH LONESOME, John Dall and Peggy Cummins in the film noir classic GUN CRAZY, and the Bowery Boys in 1950’s BLUES BUSTERS (not to be confused with a similar-sounding 1944 film of theirs, BLOCK BUSTERS). [Kansas City Star]
