Egyptian Theatre

Egyptian-style theatres are based on the traditional and historic design elements of Ancient Egypt.

The approach to the theatre was through a courtyard in an ornate style evoking ancient Egypt, while inside, the stage was flanked by carved columns and models of the Sphinx.

The theatre was opened on October 19, 1922, with the grand premiere of "Robin Hood" starring Douglas Fairbanks.

[2] The creators of the park, Palisades Amusement and Exhibition Company, published a book titled "Egypt Through the Centuries" in 1892.

Conrad Schmitt Studios has played a big part in the restoration of these atmospheric theatres, including Egyptian Theatres in Park City, Utah; Ogden, Utah; Boise, Idaho;[4] Delta, Colorado;[5] and DeKalb, Illinois.
