Movie houses and theatres were located in Paducah. Citizens of our fair city have always loved entertainment. In the early 1920's, three movie theatres were to be found within one block! The Arcade was started in 1905; it boasted an open air theatre on its rooftop for hot summertime, and an indoor theatre for inclement or winter weather. The Little Theatre was on the North Side of Broadway, and the Kozy, which was smaller yet, was just a stone's throw away. There was the Orpheum, and the Star. The massive Columbia Theatre opened with a dazzling 5000 lights in the marquee, and a huge Barton Console organ which entertained the patrons with massive volume. Clara Bow, starring in 'The It Girl" was the feature of opening night, 1927.
