Description
The historic Paramount is one of the few “atmospheric” theaters left in the nation. The Paramount Theatre Centre opened August 20, 1929 to great fanfare. Designed by noted architect and visionary, John Eberson, the atmospheric theater increased economic prosperity in downtown Anderson, attracted people from outside the city and brought hope into people’s lives. During the 75 years of history, the Paramount has shown not only the greatest films, but also featured on its stage such renowned entertainers as Frank Sinatra, Nat “King” Cole, Roberta Peters, the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra, the Artie Shaw Orchestra, Louie Armstrong, Woody Herman, Gene Autry and many more.
