This is the notice that appeared in the “Theatre Construction” section of the November 18, 1949 issue of Boxoffice: “East Palo Alto, Calif.– 1,400 seat Palo Theatre underway for Westland Theatres. Located on University Avenue and Bayshore Drive.”
The house probably opened in 1950, but not early enough for inclusion in that year’s FDY. As it was built for Harvey Rotta’s Westland Theatres chain, I think it very likely that it was designed by Cantin & Cantin, who worked for the chain regularly in the late 1940s and early 1950s.
