Opened in 1911 as the Orpheum Theatre, it was one of the longest running movie palaces in the country until it closed, along with the Orpheum Theatre, in late-2000.
The Palace Theatre was then open for special events and all sorts of location filming. Last seen in the movie “Dreamgirls”(2006). In 2010, work began on a $1 million restoration, and the Palace Theatre reopened in June 2011 as a live show venue, with occasional film screenings. The Palace Theatre is listed on the National Register of Historic Places

Back in 1977 Paramount Pictures re-released “War of the Worlds” and “When Worlds Collide”. I saw these two classic movies with friends who were visiting from northern California at the Palace Theatre. I’ll never forget stepping outside to a late afternoon sunlit Broadway which was bustling with pedestrians and traffic life and remembering what I just saw, those same Los Angeles city streets being attacked by martians. We walked the seven blocks to the Los Angeles city hall building which only less than an hour earlier was blasted by martians. It was an awesome experience, pretty much like after seeing “Earthquake” at the Paramount theare in 1974 then walking the few blocks to Hollywood & Vine to see what was just destroyed on the big screen.
LawMann, “Earthquake” opened at the Chinese Theatre across the street and later moved over to the Paramount Theatre.
Happy 100th Birthday Palace Theatre!
Happy to see the palace open again
Was in the theater on June 26th, it’s 100 birthday! Saw a 3 day old print of “ Sunset Blvd” 3 times! Was working as head usher for the reopening/birthday event. WOW, what a great day to see it back it working order. new seats, new carpet, new wallpaper, fresh coats of paint and oil on wood. She is ready for her next life, a multi purpose venue. Only 1030 Seat now out of the 2200 that she had before but that’s enough. I would love to have a variety show there, jugglers & other performers then a short film. Maybe someday!
