Imagine an ethereal rose-blue sky, awash with the twilight of a thousand twinkling stars. All around you, the terra cotta roof tiles and alabaster balconies of a Moorish courtyard emerge from the lengthening shadows. As the sun retreats, the glowing night sky deepens into a violet-cobalt blue, and the entire theater is gloriously transported to a magical, balmy midsummer evening in Sixteenth Century Spain.
     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.
