The Palace Theatre was listed as open in 1926 with 600 seats.
The April 6, 1918, issue of The Moving Picture World mentions Harry Hartman of the Palace Theatre, Mandan, North Dakota, as a recent visitor to Minneapolis. The May 4 issue of the same publication has this item:
Those are the earliest mentions by name of the Palace that I’ve found, but it’s likely that the Palace Theatre was the house Hartman was planning to build in the summer of 1916, according to the November 6, 1915, issue of MPW: The October 7, 1916, issue of MPW indicated that the new theater project was nearing completion: There must have been some delay, judging from this item from the October 21 issue of the journal: I haven’t yet found the exact opening date of the Palace Theatre, but it was probably open before the end of 1916.There is modern construction at 106 Third Avenue NW, so the Palace has been demolished. There is a glimpse of the Palace Theatre’s marquee in this photo from the 1920s. The house can be seen in the background again in this 1933 photo
