Was this the same Palace that collapsed in 1986?

I worked here most of the summer of 1965. That year, the Palace was the site of the premiere of the new Beatles movie “Help!”. Never saw so many pretty girls in one place in one summer before in all my life during the 2-3 weeks it ran (it was held over)—even though the screams got a little loud sometimes and I sorta got tired of the movie itself after seeing it about 100 times..!!(LOL..!!) As part of its promotion, they also had live bands playing in the foyer just outside the entrance to the theatre and I worked the door enough to just finally quit trying to answer the phone when people called in for showtimes and ticket-prices, etc.—you just couldn’t hear anyone..!! :)
One of my treasured childhood memories was my parents taking me to the Palace to see “The Music Man”. I remember the goosebumps when that organ rose from the pit with the melody “76 Trombones” filling that wonderful theatre. That was real showmanship and a memory that brings a smile to my face.
There are few,if any cities that have been so devastated as Dallas.The utter detruction of so many theaters was a tragedy.Having one left is better the zilch,I guess.Some still are not listed here.
