Those are great photos Andy.
Here are my pictures from November 2010, including a short video of the marquee.
According to this blog entry: View link the Cinerama screen that was installed in the Rialto Theatre which was once across the street was moved to this theater with the intent of using it there to screen D-150 films.
However, this may not be accurate if the the information on Roland Lataille’s Cinerama site concerning the Louisville Palace is accurate. The information there indicates that after Cinerama runs, a flat screen was installed at the Rialto, and then a D-150 screen. If a screen was moved from the Rialto to the Palace, it may have been this D-150 screen.
A guided tour of the Louisville Palace is part of the itinerary for the 2010 “Hoosier Heartland Conclave” being held in June by Theatre Historical Society of America. More details can be found here: http://www.historictheatres.org/
How lucky we are to still have this beautiful edifice to enjoy.
The Louisville Palace theatre is absolutely magnificent.
Very cool, will have to drive up to see it soon.
A huge atmospheric Eberson theatre with over 3,000 seats! I hope to see this atmospheric next summer with friends who live in nearby Lexington.
This theater is listed in the 1955 Film Daily Yearbook as the Loew’s State with 3,273 seats and an address of 625 S. Fourth Street.
Chuck: Thanks so much for posting the Louisville Palace reply. Please tell the Palace staff that Cinema Treasures and its members were thinking of them when Louisville was in the news.
I got this reply from my email to the Palace Theatre today.
Dear Chuck,
Thank you so much for your concern. Yes, the Louisville Palace did sustain damage due to the severe storm and flooding this week. Most of the areas below street level were flooded to various degrees. Since the Louisville Palace is owned by Live Nation, the Live Nation insurance specialist flew in on Tuesday evening and entire crews from a nation disasters clean up company were here at 8am Wednesday morning. So the clean up has begun and everything is moving forward, business as usual. We will have the final weekend of the MONSTERS movie series this weekend…The Wolfman and The Creature from the Black Lagoon. I hope you will be able to attend, since now more than ever the Louisville Palace needs the support of our community.
Once again, thank you for your interest in the Louisville Palace.
Chuck: Thanks for your input and keep us posted!
Patsy, I forgot to mention that I sent an email to the Palace via their feedback but haven’t received a reply as of yet.
Patsy, I don’t know if it means anyting but according to their web site they still have their summer film series still scheduled along with their regular program. I could only find one cancellation on their web site. I have been watching the Louisville paper online and nothing has been mentioned about damage to the Palace. Also looking at the Brown Theatre all their shows are still scheduled according to their web site.
Lost: The 2009 photo of the marquee is awesome! Let’s keep our fingers crossed that “our” Palace there is okay despite the heavy rains though I’m sure the basement area is susceptible.
Can anyone tell us if the Palace in downtown Louisville sustained any damage? The downtown area was hit hard so I hope the Palace escaped serious damage.
This is another 2009 photo.
