Biographical History
The Grand Theatre, Cowcaddens, Glasgow, Scotland, was originally known as the Prince of Wales Music Hall which opened in 1867 , and was one of Glasgow's oldest music halls. Following a fire in 1869, a new theatre was built on the site and in 1881 it was refurbished and called the Grand Theatre. It had a capacity of 2030, and film shows began regularly from 1915 . The Grand was taken over in 1909 by Moss Empires Ltd, but was again destroyed by fire in 1989. The New Grand Picture House was then built in its place.
