Patsy (re your comment of 3/3/06), the RKO Palace in Columbus, Ohio, is alive and well (though no longer showing movies)
The Keith-Albee Palace Theatre was designed by Rapp and Rapp.
This is an October 1930 ad.
Advertised as the RKO Keith Palace in this June 1931 ad.

I was in the theatre once – very nice but fairly plain. The auditorium with another entrance was on the next next street over and ran parallel to the street. The Main St. entrance was quite long and narrow to reach the 200 or so feet to the auditorium.
Here is a vintage photo of the Keith Albee Palace Theater.
It’s amazing to learn that all of the RKO Palace Theatres listed on CT are all “closed/demolished”. Such a shame.
2,100 seats, according to the 1944 Film Daily Year Book.
