I believe this link has video of the Palace.
I’ve reached my limit of free Tribune articles for the month…
If it is the wrong Palace Theatre, let me know in a comment and I’ll delete it and add it where it belongs.
Below is a link to the Facebook page for Right Way Signs of Chicago.
There are 11 photos of new interior signage they created for the theater aisle designations and the Carbon Arc Bar & Board.
The current street view shows the entrance area has been split into 3 separate storefronts.
It appears they kept whatever original pitched entryway the theatre had, on two of the storefronts.
The third had it’s interior space extended out to the sidewalk border.
Letterhead & copy added courtesy of Rusty Hayes.
“Years ago I worked at the Capitol Drive-In. When they were tearing it down I managed to salvage this letterhead from the debris.”
John Cannon also added “In the late 60s, Lloyd Hirstine owned it. His son Richard was the assistant manager.”

OK, I’ll just leave it here. I did remove my duplicate post though.

Ah, I see what you are saying. The marquee looked wider than that to me, but you are probably correct.
