The last appearance of the American Theatre in the FDY is in the 1929 edition. Pocahontas itself does not appear in the 1930 edition, but in 1931 a 400-seat house called the Palace is listed as the only theater in town. It is possible that the American closed in late 1929 and reopened sometime in 1930 as the Palace. Pocahontas still had its Palace Theatre in 1950, when it was one of the houses mentioned in the February 4 issue of Boxoffice as part of the Newbold-Keesling chain.
