    Does anyone know which countries had grandeur films projected in that medium between 1929-1931?

    The Big Trail(1930) was shown in GRANDEUR at the Sydney Plaza(later CINERAMA Theatre.) An advertisement from The Sydney Morning Herald for 28 January 1931
    states in large capital letters:



    SCREENED IN MARVELLOUS GRANDEUR FILM

    There were similar ads in the Melbourne Herald in late March 1931.

    35mm prints also played in other venues in Australia and
    these were referred to and advertised as"GrandeurScope"
