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 everyones favorite dinner theatre since 1967s debut of Come Blow Your Horn. Local author Dorothy K. Fletcher revives the history of Jacksonvilles theatres.
