The information above is almost all wrong. The Palace was NOT built in 1955; there was a theatre on that site since the early teens. It was never called the Texas Theatre (that is another theatre that Seguin Theatres owned down the street, it still stands and is being restored).
The original Palace bulding blew up with a natural gas explosion in around 1947 and the owner, H. A. “Windy” Daniels and his wife Maxi rebuilt the theatre immediately (they put up a screen outside in the parking lot and continued to show movies!). The Palace is in beautiful shape, has fresh paint, fairly new carpet, the booths have been retrofitted with state of the art DVD projection, modern platter systems, New Xenon bulbs, and DTS surround sound. The theatre is open almost every week for movies, special shows, plays, birthday parties, and other events. Come see shows on March 3,4,5. See www.davideo.tv for information.

In 9/03, I photographed this theater, and the marquee shows that the ‘Friends of the Library’ were presenting ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’. I got the impression that this was a play. Last month, I was there again, and nothing on the marquee. The lobby seems to be in very good shape. The original popcorn machine is still there. The bottom of the marquee has neon arrows pointing towards the doors.
