The Palace’s grand opening was October 25, 1913 with “A Sister to Carmen.” The Palace appears to have closed on June 22, 1929 with “Flying Buckaroo” unable to make the conversion to sound. It was used as a retail building beginning in 1931.
Briefly taken over by A.H. Blank Theatres (a subsidiary of Paramount-Publix) in March 1929.
