Recently, Debbie Roach of Grant City was going through some old papers and photos that Dan's mother had and found a Grant City Theatre schedule for September 1937. All shows started at 8 pm.
August 29th to 30th -- "Shall we Dance?"
September 1st -- "Song of the City."
September 3rd to 4th -- "That Man's Here Again," "The Devil's Saddle Legion."
September 5th to 6th -- "They Gave Him a Gun."
September 8th -- "Too Many Wives."
September 10th to 11th -- "Hills of Old Wyoming," "Go Getter."
September 12th to 13th -- "A Day at the Races."
September 15th -- "Woman I Love."
September 16th, 17th, and 18th fell on the Worth County Fall Festival, with a different show each night.
September 16th -- "It Can't Last Forever."
September 17th -- "Outcast of Poker Flat."
September 18th -- "Mountain Justice."
September 19th to 20th -- "Pick a Star."
September 22nd -- "You Can't Buy Luck."
September 24th to 25th -- "The Mighty Treve." There were no TV's back in those days, so sometimes, the Grant City Theatre would show newsreels of the day. One time that month, they showed graphic footage of the Japanese bombing of Shanghai, which appalled the world. On the weekend of September 24th and 25th, they showed footage of the Joe Louis vs. Tommy Farr fight.
September 26th to 27th -- "Parnell."
September 29th -- "The Devil is Driving."
October 1st and 2nd -- "It's All Yours," "Prince and the Pauper."
