In this episode of History Lives our host Chuck Dodson unravels the history of the historic Malco Theatre. In the late 19th Century, Hot Springs had evolved to one of the greatest spa towns in the world. Visitors came from near and far to enjoy the mineral waters and the rich nightlife and entertainment. In 1910, the Princess Theatre opened in the location of the now Malco Theatre, bringing cinema, vaudeville, and other types of entertainment to downtown Hot Springs. In 1935, tragedy struck when the Princess Theatre went up in flames. Eleven years later from the ashes of the Princess Theatre came the Malco Theatre. Today the Malco Theatre, now home to the Maxwell Blade Theatre of Magic, continues to bring entertainment to the Spa City.
