Listed in the 1944, 1945, 1951, and 1956 Film Daily Yearbooks. Interestingly, the 1944, 1945, and 1951 editions list it as the New Palace while the 1956 edition lists it as the Palace (although without an address).

This is listed in the 1933 Film Daily Year Book, so it has to be older than “tc”’s research shows. I could not find any listings prior to that, though the theatre could have had another name prior to Palace.
Status for this theatre should now be changed to “Demolished”. The town has taken on a major urban renewal project, and all of the old retail stores on each side of Roosevelt Ave. have been demolished, to make way for condo’s and townhouses. At the end, this theatre was a plumbing warehouse. Demolished in late 2006.
The absence of an address in the 1956 FDYB probably means that the Palace had closed by that time. I suspect that the actual name of the theatre was Palace and that “New” was just an adjective used temporarily to connote a renovation. After a few years at most, the “New” probably disappeared unless it was actually on the marquee, which I doubt.
