In his autobiography “My Life”, former President Bill Clinton mentions this theatre (on page 36) as being one of Hot Springs' “two old-fashioned movie houses”. The other was the Malco Theatre.
The Paramount Theatre opened prior to 1941. In 1945 it was remodeled to the plans of architectural firm Brueggeman, Swaim & Allen.

I couldn’t find any dates but did find that the theatre closed was later demolished and is now a parking lot. The theatre was located next door to the Kress 5 & 10 cent store.
