The LaPlace Theatre opened its doors on April 9, 1939 with Louis Hayward in “The Duke Of West Point” (unknown if extras added), featuring sound installations by RCA. It was originally plan to open as the Rex Theatre but that was scrapped. There is also an earlier LaPlace Theatre that operated only during the silent era.

The LaPlace Theatre closed for the final time on April 5, 1970 with Clint Eastwood in “Hang ‘Em High” when the LaPlace Twin Cinemas opened nearby four days later.
