The Flagler Theater opened in 1927. One of the earliest Spanish-language houses in Miami, the Flagler Theater often ran live shows with well known acts from Latin America and Spain.
This theatre was most likely a casualty of the 1-95 expressway.

I believe this was last known as Radio Centro.
Unrelated to this theater, but I remember a theater in the area of Flagler and Le Jeune. I saw a special rerelease of “The Exorcist” around 1982. I could be wrong about the intersection. It was an older theater with a nice marquee. It showed special releases by the 80s, I think, and was a bit run down.
I seem to remember it being near the big gray Florida Power & Light (??) building, that was once lighted in bright colors. Whatever the intersection, it was on the NW corner.
Ripshin, could you be thinking of the Trail on 37th Avenue and 8th Street?

That MUST be it! I was at UM at the time I saw the film, but a year later, moved just three blocks south of this theater, on Douglas. Never went back again. It’s very possible I saw a Spanish-subtitled version of the film, and the reason I never returned. It’s the NW corner, and I remember parking behind the auditorium, with the screen at the west end. Thanks for the suggestion – makes total sense.
Was this theatre demolished for the Freeway? When you map it the only thing that comes up is the Freeway.
This Flagler/Radio Centro must have been torn down for the I-95 expressway.
Ripshin, the Trail is still there and is now a Latin Quarter Cultural Center presenting spanish language plays.
I saw “Milagro a los Cobardes” (1962) there with Ruth Roman and Javier Escrivá. I don’t know whether Ruth Roman spoke Spanish or her character’s voice was dubbed.
