It became the Cinema III on August 1, 1973, not around 1959. The Palace Theater name continued to last throughout the 1960’s and early 1970’s.

The Palace Theater was built and opened in 1918 by a husband-and-wife team of Lou and Elizabeth Galster of Petoskey.

On March 5, 1945, the Palace Theater was completely destroyed by a fire. It was later rebuilt and reopened later that year.

The Palace Theater name continued to last until August 1, 1973 when it reopened as the Cinema III with “Hell Upside Down” as its first film.
