HISTORY: As far as documented records show, “Grand Hotel” was first show at the Criterion Theatre in Bar Harbor at 2:30pm and 8:30pm on July 14th, 15th, and 16th, 1932, and – back by popular demand – it was re-screened during the weekend of December 29th, 30th, and 31st, 1932.  This makes it easily the biggest hit at the Criterion during its inaugural year!
(The film runs for 112 minutes, total.)
