This website has pictures of what the Keith Theater and many other picture palaces looked like back in the mid 20^th Century. It allows for a perspective of what Goldman actually did to the picture palaces and how the theaters’ evolved over time. By W. Wright

This article deals with Goldman’s expansion of his movie theatre chain.  He moves his business from a small out of the way theater to a small empire of the last picture palaces in Philadelphia.  The buying and gutting of this old establishment becomes representative of the new way of making movie theaters.  Though Keithe’s theater is still considered a picture palace, it is a new age palace and much different than its predecessors.  Goldman makes this venue into a state of the art theater for the next generation of film goers.  By W.
