Jacksonville's theatre and performance history is rich with flair and
drama. The theatres, drive-ins and movie houses that brought
entertainment to its citizens have their own exciting stories. Some have
passed into memory. The Dixie Theatre, originally part of Dixieland
Park, began to fade in 1909. The Palace Theatre, home to vaudeville
acts, was torn down in the '50s. The Alhambra has been everyone's
favorite dinner theatre since 1967's debut of Come Blow Your Horn. Local
author Dorothy K. Fletcher revives the history of Jacksonville's
theatres. Lights, camera, action!
