Seeing a movie at the Grand Lake Theater feels like going back in time, even when the movie house is showing “Deadpool” or “Star Trek Beyond.”

The Art Deco theater near the edge of Lake Merritt has been carefully restored and doesn’t show commercials, and the Mighty Wurlitzer organ is still operational.

This weekend, the transformation will be complete when the Grand Lake presents two Hollywood classics on its big screen: “Gone With the Wind” and “The Wizard of Oz.” The films were both released in 1939, 13 years after the Grand Lake opened as a vaudeville theater and silent-movie house.

The organ plays on Friday and Saturday, Sept. 2 and 3, before the start of “Gone With the Wind,” and during intermission of the 238-minute movie. Tickets purchased online are reduced to $6, and regular price at the door.
