No one has favorited this theater yet
This theater is most elusive. It exists as a name, a seating capacity listing in the 1951 Film Daily Yearbook list of California theatres, and as a vague recollection of two longtime Palo Altans. They both recall it being on University Avenue (EAST Palo Alto is a separate city from Palo Alto, but they share the same University Avenue as their main street), in the area later known as Whiskey Gulch due to many liquor stores.
This entire district has recently been levelled for hotel and office construction, making further clues as to the Palo’s location even more scarce.
