Movie theatres - Park Theatre 1928-1987

The Park Theatre most of us remember opened to great fanfare on Sept. 17, 1928, advertised as a state-of-the-art facility. The new owners forgot one major point. Talking films were beginning to take hold, and the Park was only set up to show silents. The Capitol and Rialto were ready to go with the new technology, and took full advantage. The Park finally re-tooled, but took awhile to catch up to the other Everett theaters. They eventually outlasted all the competition and stayed open until 1985. Two years later it was demolished to make way for a condo development.
