Mike, back then they didn’t have one sheets, those were 30x40’s and had to be returned to National Theatre Supply at the end of the run, the stills were not returnable so management got to keep those.

I went to this theatre almost every Sat. when I was a young boy, I think it cost a dime to get in you could watch a flash gordon serial, a movie and 2 cartoons for that price

The building was most recently owned by a church. They only did minimal maintenance, as the roof collapsed while being examined by the city building inspector. The building was condemned in August 2009.

It appears that this building was a church in 2007. I don’t know if it is still a church today. Here is a photo and this is a close-up view.

A Link theater organ was installed in the Seminole Theater in Tampa in 1919.

Does anyone know anything about this theatre? Interior? etc.? I can’t find a thing with research. The building is still there but appears abandoned.
