The New Yale Theatre opened on Broadway Street near Third Street at 305 West Broadway in downtown Muskogee on September 16, 1911. It took advantage of the new Surety Building skyscraper location one block away from the previous location. And it followed the lead of its predecessor, Yale Theatre, with a mirrored screen and three reels of films followed by a vaudeville show.
The New Yale was remodeled in 1916 and would become a Dubinsky Brothers location. Texas Enterprises Circuit bought the New Yale Theatre on October 1, 1920 and changed its name to the Palace Theatre on October 10, 1920. The Circuit played Paramount films. The previous Yale Theatre was put back into operation at 208 Broadway as a discounted sub-run location. Meanwhile, the Palace converted to sound under Robb & Rowley to stay current.
