On December 16, 1937, the Granada Theatre had its grand opening. The movie True Confessions was shown to a sold-out crowd in the theater, which was considered to be one of the finest outside the Chicago area. The Granada had air conditioning, a stage, the latest movie technology, and arena-type seating for twelve hundred, affording a perfect view of the screen from any position in the theater. The quality of the sound system called microphonic was the latest development and was superior to anything ever heard before on the talking picture screen. Engineers claimed it was one of the finest sound theaters in the country. . . . #bicentennialtuesdaytrivia #EnjoyMtVernon #SouthernIllinois #Missouri #Tennessee #Indiana #Arkansas #Kentucky #Iowa #Michigan #Wisconsin #ChicagoIllinois #BloomingtonIllinois #StLouisMissouri #EffinghamIllinois #PaducahKentucky #mtvil200 #tourism #MtVernonIllinois #family #roadtrip #carrides #familyvacation #businesstrip #convention #weddingvenues #wedddingplanning #enjoyillinois
