Thank you William. Another aka name needs to be added above.

Yes , it was known as the Palace Newsreel at one time. If you you at the picture at the top, you will see Palace on the marquee and Newsreel on the two vertical sign for the theatre.

Was this theater also known as the Palace Newsreel Theater or was that another theater?

During the 30’s the Palace Theatre was operated by Fox West Coast Thetares. During the 40’s it was part of the Principal Theatres Corp. of America chain. And then in the 1950’s it became part of the Metropolitan Theatres chain till it closed.
