The Palace was first opened as a vaudeville house on the Keith circuit in 1915. There’s a plaque in there that testifies to the fact. Keith is the “K” in R.K.O. pictures by the way. (Joe Kennedy the father put together R.K.O. from R.C.A.’s sound film patents (the “R” for Radio, as in Radio Corp. of America); his own F.B.O.studio (no initial); and the theater chain of the Keith-Orpheum circuit. Both the Palace and the Strand had been real theaters, the Strand starting its life as the Opera House.
