In 1913, Palace Theater opened as a vaudeville show place featuring the time’s top stars. Some who have graced its stage include Jack Benny, George Burns, Bob Hope, Ethel Merman, Irving Berlin, Helen Keller, Sophie Tucker, Harry Houdini and Fanny Brice. It is said to be haunted by tightrope walker and acrobat Louis Borsalino, who fell to his death during a performance in the 1950s. His apparition has been seen swinging from the rafters, then screaming as he falls.
