I never had the pleasure of seeing this beautiful theater, nor the Tower Theater, built originally as the Pantages. Kansas City had many beautiful theaters, now only faint memories for anyone who had the privilege to see them. I’m grateful we still have the Midland and the Uptown to remind us of how incredible movie palaces were.

What a tall ceiling and elegant curtain. Well designed balconies. Huge and lovely interior.
I remember going to see the Robe there in 1954 and siting in one of those loge seats with my younger brother.
