Interesting source on the Grand theater,

Apparently there was a previous Grand Theatre which used to be a cafe and had a very short lifespan, what intrigues me most is the fact it was supposed to be equipped with a theater organ, however it doesn’t appear on opus lists

Grand Cinema

Please state source to prove the English common name of the building is "Grand Cinema", as the photo clearly show the cinema is known as "Grand Theatre" instead Matthew hk (talk) 08:25, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Grand Cinema (Shanghai) → Grand Theatre (Shanghai) – The photo clearly shown the name of the building is known as Grand Theatre, and lack of any source to support there is an alternative common name "Grand Cinema". Yes it is not the same building as Shanghai Grand Theatre but it is not the reason to make up another name for the building. Matthew hk (talk) 12:10, 4 February 2024 (UTC) — Relisting.

The stated ref in the articles, Lonely Planet and Time Out Shanghai, actually both refer the building as Grand Theatre. Despite Time Out Shanghai also state the alt name "Cinema" in the main body of the article. Matthew hk (talk) 12:16, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
