Does the theatre still have its 3/10 Wurlitzer organ?
What ia great place to see a movie, I saw the incredibles a few weeks ago with my family, I forgot how nice it was to see a movie on a true big screen. My kids are use to the Danbury screening rooms (I can’t bring myself to call them “Theaters”). They loved the big screen and loved the clouds floating by even more. They also had fun after the show trying to find John Emberson’s trade mark parriot. Well worth the drive to see a movie…or just enjoy this beautiful Theatre.
The Palace is fine example of Eberson’s talents. I had the pleasure of seeing this theatre on May 15, 2004 along with several other Ohio treasures. Immediately upon entering the auditorium you know you’ve left reality behind. While a movie certainly would enhance escapism, I’d almost be satisified just to sit in a seat and look at the theatre for 30 minutes. Then, I suppose I’d want a movie.
I saw the Drifters, Coasters, and the Platters at the Palace and it’s a great place to see a concert. It’s extreme width but short depth allows everyone close proximity to the stage.
Marion is the popcorn capitol of the U.S. so it flows readily — even during concerts.
