The February, 1921, issue of trade journal The Clay Worker said that the new Palace Theatre in Memphis had opened to the public on Saturday, January 15.
Does anyone have information on the performers who might have appeared at Loew’s when it first opened in the ‘20s?
Love the Elvis Story,ASst Mgr Loews.
Marcus Loew was born on this date in 1870.

Photos, even old ones, of the Palace are scarce. Came across this one recently. Lobby, as opposed to the State’s long one was crosswise with two flanking staircases. Wall was originally glass but was painted over because the standee rail was just inside.
Will, where did you come by the Don Baker memorabilia?
Where else? Stan Hightower.
My dad took my brother and I to see a re-release of “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea” in the early 1960s. My first movie in a theater!
