The Palace Theatre opened its doors on June 2, 1917. Some original features as of 1917 include ivory and old rose color scheme, old rose draperies, 8ft marble wainscoting tile for the lobby, and a 11x14ft screen. The Palace closed on June 20, 1955 with Dick Powell in “Susan Slept Here” (unknown if extras added) when the Villa Theatre opened ten days later.
This virtual historic tour of Malta says that the Palace Theatre was built in 1916.
From 1922 until its closing, the Palace Theatre was operated by Carl and Irene Veseth. I’ve been unable to discover if the Palace was opened before the Veseths began operating it. It was closed in 1955, when the Veseths opened their new Villa Theatre in Malta. In 1957, They opened a Valli Drive-In at Malta as well.
