On May 7th, 1937, hundreds of people lined up
along Third Street outside of the new theatre building. The largest
neon sign in Grand Island graced the facade, which was build
entirely of colored glass. It was the most beautiful modern building
in town. The marquee proclaimed "Nebraska's Finest and Most Modern
Theatre!" 705 people were ushered in to watch the premiere of "A
Star is Born" starring Janet Gaynor, Adolph Menjou and Fredrick
March. BACK
