Arnold “Doug” Dickerson and John M. Huggins launched the White Palace Theatre on April 15, 1907 with Gaston Velle’s “Miniature Theatre” and “Bad Mother.” They closed it two years later with a constable’s auction on January 28, 1910. It reopened on March 10, 1910 briefly as the Princess Theatre. It was renamed the White Palace before closing again.
