The Palace, previously a Publix house, became part of the Robb & Rowley chain in early 1929, according to this item from Film Daily of January 20 that year: “R & R Gets Three Houses
“McAlester, Okla. — The Palace, Rialto and Busby leases have been secured by R & R Theaters from Publix. The R & R circuit consists of 65 houses in Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas. The new leasees plan extensive alterations at the Palace, installing sound equipment. The Busby which has been closed will reopen while the policy at the Rialto remains the same.”
The reopening of the Palace with talking pictures was noted in the April 21 Film Daily.
Reopened as Palace on December 28th, 1920. Grand opening ad posted.
