DavidZornig commented about Palace Theatre on Apr 15, 2020 at 12:12 pm

1940 photo added credit Russell Lee. Palace Theatre building as Gresham & Co. Dry-Goods. Current street view confirms it is the same building. So it must have opened as the Palace in 1941 at the earliest. Russell Lee did a lot of Farm Security Administration photos at that time.

So Forest Theatre name should be removed, and Showcase Theatre should replace it as the last name it operated as a theatre as.
