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.
The obituary of an Arnold D. Dickerson, in the October 17, 1947 issue of Film Daily said that he began his career as an exhibitor as the proprietor of the White Palace Theatre in Pana in 1907.
