The December 22, 1917, issue of The Moving Picture World mentions the Palace:

“HECTOR, MINN. — Dr. Erickson has disposed of the Palace theater to George Holland of Red Lake Falls and A. W. Fisk of Gettysburg”
Something puzzling is that the Internet has a couple of pages about the theater department of the Buffalo Lake-Hector-Stewart schools presenting school plays at the Palace Theatre, 301 Main Street South, Hector. The Internet also gives that as the address of the Hector City Hall.

Google Maps' street view of the location shows a modern building that looks nothing like a theater. It could be that the City Hall has a multi-purpose room both for council meetings and community events, and they call it the Palace Theatre when it’s used for the school plays. It’s a corner location, and might be on the site of the original Palace Theatre.
