Loew's Palace Theater

Part of the history of a great motion picture theater is the films that played there. Listed below are the films which played at Loew’s Palace in Washington, DC from November 1957 to December 1963. Research is from microfilms of The Washington Post and Variety. The dates listed are the Wednesday of the week in which the film opened, as in those days, most new films opened on Wednesdays instead of Fridays, as they do now. Films from January 1964 to the theater’s closing in 1978 will be listed in later posts due to space considerations.
