Palace Theater - Marfa, Texas - Vintage Movie Theaters on Waymarking.com

Long Description:


Located at 220 N. Highland Street in Marfa, the former opera house, turned Art Deco theater seating 761, is currently used as a private residence. This reuse has proven to be a blessing in disguise since the exterior of the building now exhibits much of its former glory.

The location scenes for the movie, Giant, were filmed on a nearby ranch. During the time this was being done, movies of the stars (Elizabeth Taylor, Rock Hudson, James Dean) were shown at The Palace.

Information for this waymark was taken from personal observation and the following two sources: "http://www.bigbendquarterly.com/giant/index_marfa_story.htm">Big Bend Quarterly and "http://cinematreasures.org/theater/4846/">Theater Treasures.
