Overcast cool day. Up 10 A.M. Chored around. Played piano etc. Down town in P.M. on errands. Helped father clean cellar etc. To Palace Theatre at 7 P.M. with Doris Smith. Good picture and fine time. To bed 10:30 P.M. ><

Too bad Stanford didn't say what movie they saw. It must have been a good one since he got a kiss out of it!
The Palace Theater is no longer standing, but it was apparently very popular in its time. Below is an article, published February 1, 1919 about how the number of seats were to be expanded that year:
The theater's popularity prompted the owners to add seats, the article goes on to say. Max Spiegel, the owner of The Palace, was an important Broadway director and producer early in the twentieth century. (He had a burlesque show in 1910 in which the comedian Fanny Brice appeared at the age of 19.) Below is a listing for Mr. Spiegel that was published in the 1918 edition of Directory of Directors in the City of New York. Notice that he is shown to be the President and Director of the Schenectady Palace Theatre Corporation.
