This theater was built in 1912 by the Red Bank Amusement Company. Original name was the Lyric Theater. Located on E. Front Street across from the Globe Hotel. Functioned as a vaudeville house and moving picture theater. Briefly known as FERBER's Theater in 1919. In 1920 it became the Palace Theater. Leased by ME McNulty, the local "Mr. Barnum". It was during this period that Count Basie was a frequent patron, often listening to Harold LaRoss play the organ for silent movies.
In 1928, the Palace was sold at a sheriff's sale to Tony Hunting, just as talkies were taking off. By 1944, no longer listed in the Film Daily Yearbook.
The Frick's Theatre listed in the main description is a different theater.
