Palace Theatre, Movie theater in downtown Canton, United States
The Palace Theatre is a movie theater in downtown Canton with a rectangular Churrigueresque structure made of brick and terracotta elements. Inside, 1,509 seats face a screening surface measuring 21 feet by 46 feet.
The building was designed in 1926 by John Eberson and funded by Harry Ink, a local manufacturer of throat medication. This project reflected the importance of film and live entertainment in the city's economy and culture during that era.
Regular screenings of classic silent films are accompanied by the original Kilgen Wonder Organ, an instrument that has been part of the venue's identity since its opening. This pairing of projected images and live organ music represents a viewing experience rarely found today.
The theater continues to operate as a venue for films, concerts, and other performances. Visitors should check the theater's website for current event information and show times.
The ceiling features star decorations and a mechanical system that creates moving cloud effects across its blue surface during performances. This design element creates an experience that goes beyond ordinary movie watching.
