It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places because of its significance to the atmospheric theatre architectural style popular in the United States during the 1920s. The theatre opened on August 30, 1928, becoming the company's tenth theatre.[2] A movie palace, it was one of the last to be built in the atmospheric theatre style in the United States.[3] In addition to motion pictures and newsreels, the theatre also booked vaudeville and legitimate theatre, although vaudeville had declined in popularity by the time the theatre opened.[4] It is located at the corner of West Center Street and Campbell Street, on two former residential lots. The site was initially owned by the Campbell family, early Marion settlers. The lot slopes to the west, causing the stage to be below grade level on the east and at grade level on the west. The east lot was vacant at the time of construction, while the west lot had a residential house, which was razed. Over time, additional land was secured and added to the complex. In 1975, the theatre was sold to the Palace Cultural Arts Association, a nonprofit organization, and renovated. The Palace remains open today as a movie and performing arts center, and is one of 16 atmospheric theatres designed by John Eberson that remain in operation as theatres in the United States.[5] ArchitectureThe Marion Palace was designed by John Eberson as an atmospheric theatre. Eberson designed it to fit the vision of owner V.U. Young for "A Spanish Castle" or "A Palace in Old Spain."[6] It is difficult to assign an Eberson theatre to a precise architectural style. Eberson "mixed architectural styles, more interested in evoking an impression than precisely replicating an architectural period." [7] The theatre is best described as designed in the Spanish Colonial Revival architecture style.[8] Spanish Colonial Revival was popular in Florida during the 1920s, and features arches, terra-cotta roof tiles, towerlike structures, balconies, ornamental ironwork, courtyards, patios and arcades. The design influence of the Spanish architect José Benito de Churriguera is prevalent. This Churrigueresque revival style is seen in the pillars to the right of the stage, the proscenium details, and in Eberson's use of balustrades, stucco shells and garlands.[7] The outside is designed to resemble a palace exterior. Inside, Eberson transitions the patrons from a lobby through wooden doors to an arcade (at the rear of the orchestra) and into a courtyard on a hill. From the balcony, patrons are surrounded by a Spanish town wall and have the same view a resident would have from a high building looking down on the courtyard. A blue sky above creates the impression of open space. Stars are designed in constellation patterns in the ceiling and twinkle through holes in the plaster during performances. A Brenkert Brenograph Jr. projector, hidden in the east side wall, projects clouds on the ceiling, further creating an outdoor illusion.[9]Opening nightUpon opening in 1928, the theatre was immediately embraced by patrons.[18] The day before the opening, the local newspaper, The Marion Star described the Palace:
Pietro Caproni statuesThe image to the right is a representation of the Caproni casting for the Capitoline Antinous, which is located at the Palace in a niche in the upper right hand corner of the north wall, above the proscenium. To the left of this statue is a Caproni plaster casting of the Praying Boy. Theatre organA Page Rainbo Gold organ was installed when the Palace opened. Manufactured by the Page Organ Company of Lima, Ohio, it was first played by Banks Kennedy, who was the guest organist at the Palace until December 1928. At the opening, the Marion Star described the Page organ to its readers:
That organ was sold and was replaced in 1976 with a 3/10 Mighty Wurlitzer Theatre Pipe Organ. It started its life as the second organ of the 1,200 seat Mars Theatre (now the Long Center for the Performing Arts) in Lafayette, Indiana. When that theatre opened in 1921, it owned a 3/10 Smith-Geneva pipe organ that lasted in the theatre just three years. In 1924, a 3/10 Wurlitzer was installed, and remained in the theatre until the early 1960s, when it was purchased by the former national president of the American Theatre Organ Society, Al Mason, and installed in his Michigan home. Following his death, this instrument was moved to the Marion Palace.[21] RestorationThe theatre building was completely restored in 1975–1976 after ownership was transferred to a local nonprofit group, the Palace Cultural Arts Association. John Eberson's son, Drew Eberson,[22] helped guide the restoration. At that time, the theatre seats were renovated and some were removed to create handicapped-accessible space. The theatre now has seating for 1420 patrons (originally the theatre had seats for 1540 patrons).[23] When the theatre opened, retail space was rented to four businesses on the street level and a medical clinic and beauty shop on the second floor level.[24] These spaces were remodeled for a concession stand, a box office, theatre offices and multi-purpose spaces. Since 1976, the building has undergone a series of structural, backstage and front of house improvements. In 2015, repair of the front fascade and signage began, including work to replace bricks and terra cotta damaged by water.[25] Theatre archivesThe Palace Cultural Arts Association maintains a small archive of Palace artifacts and photos. Also, the Marion County Historical Society maintains a collection of Palace photographs and theatre memorabilia. Finally, the Theatre Historical Society of America has a collection of Palace photographs.[26] Hiroshi SugimotoThe Palace Theatre is one of the movie palaces photographed by {{nihongo|Hiroshi Sugimoto|杉本博司|Sugimoto Hiroshi}}, a Japanese photographer.[27] In 1978, Sugimoto's Theatres series [28] involved photographing old American movie palaces and drive-ins with a folding 4x5 camera and tripod, opening his camera shutter and exposing the film for the duration of the entire feature-length movie, the film projector providing the sole lighting.[29] The Singin' Cowboy premiereThe musical The Singin' Cowboy had its world premiere in August 2011 at the theatre. Under the direction of former Marion Palace Theatre executive director and artistic director Tina Salamone. It ran for 6 performances.[30] Current useThe theatre is owned by the members of a nonprofit corporation and is governed by a board of directors. The board is elected by members at an annual meeting. The theatre presents an annual small season of touring artists and an educational theatre series for schoolchildren. During the off-season and at other times during the year when the theatre would otherwise be dark, amateur theatre and high school productions use the venue. The theatre also exhibits motion pictures and is available for rent.[31] References1. ^{{NRISref|version=2010a}} 2. ^Motion Picture News, January 7, 1928, 16; Marion Star, August 29, 1928; Hoffman, Scott L.
