According to an article in the Palm Beach Daily News by David Rogers (February 2, 2005), the theater had 1,068 seats. It was built in 1926. The premiere film was Paramount’s “Beau Geste”. Performers who appeared on the stage in the early years were George Gershwin, Al Jolson, Will Rogers and Billie Burke. Closed as a film venue in 1980. Designated a landmark by the town of Palm Beach in 1982. Theater gutted. Offices, art gallery, Paramount Church still operating, and the Paramount electric sign lights N. County Road every evening.
