I was down to the Archives a year ago and found a couple of the Palace. The best one is from the stage looking out but I have never seen it on any website. Brings back memories for me from when I used to go there when I was in high school.
The presentation of movies at the Palace was the best I saw in Hamilton. Good use of the stage lighting a curtains, nice clean show. Most other theatres in Hamilton back then had atrocious showmanship. No curtains, slap on the movie and that was it…even the Capitol.
Also….in addition to my previous post…I have not seen anything on the Palace in the Ontario Archives online. The Capitol is there but not tghe old Palace theatre. The only shots I have seen are in John Lindsay’s book and the original photo’s at the Archives.

Thanks. They are the ones I saw at the Archives.

Wow.
That’s incredible!
I remember those buses!
There’s the Hyland down the street on the right…and I’m assuming the Capitol in the foreground on the left?
Great photo! Brings back memories for sure….the marquees and the bus.
Thanks.
