If the trade press is correct, this opened as the Arcade Theatre in the early 1900s and was purchased by the operator of the Palace changing name to the Palace and going out of business without converting to sound. Independent Theaters, Inc., spent $15,000 refreshing the venue and wiring it for sound at a cost of $15,000 rebranding it as the Shawano Theatre in 1931.
