I was an usher at the Palace from 1960 to 1961. An after-school job that paid 50-cents an hour. The manager was Harry Botto. It was the only movie theater in Bradenton after the near-by State Theater caught fire in the early 1950s. When the twin-screen Cinema opened in Bayshore Gardens in the mid-1960s the Palace lost most of its business.
The name changed to Capri in the early 1970s. It was a sad day when it was destroyed.

My wife, who was born in Berlin, saw Mad Max 2 at the Alhambra in 1981. It’s sad to know that they also tear down beautiful old theaters and buildings in Europe too.
