This theater was located on North Street in Pittsfield, MA and was built as the Majestic Theater. It was renamed Palace Theatre on January 15, 1923. Torn down in the 1990’s as owners did not keep it up and the city took it over. There is now a small park on the site, containing an archway similar to that of the former theater’s facade.

The Palace in Pittsfield was included in the MGM Theatre Photograph and Report project. There is a facade photo dated May 1941. The theatre entrance was in the center of a 3-story building. The front corners of the fancy marquee were supported by posts rising from the sidewalk. There was an arch above the marquee and a vertical blade sign affixed to the facade. The attractions posted on the 2 lines of the marquee are not readable in the photo. The Report states that the Palace is at “132 North St.”, that it has been presenting MGM product for over 10 years; that it’s over 15 years old; that it’s in Good condition and has 1115 seats on the main floor and 450 in the balcony, total: 1,565 seats.
