The Wallace Theater is listed in 1935 with 400 seats. Not listed in 1940.
This page links to an undated photo. IMDB lists films titled “Over the Hill” and “The Rosary” from 1931, but also has the same titles in the mid-1910s. The theater was open early enough to be listed in a 1915-16 city directory.
Rick I did find an address for the Wallace Theatre at 1344 Manatee Ave. at 14th St. W. I have been looking for history for three other theatres in Bradenton, the Lincoln Theatre owned by Baily Theatres I believe was an African American Theatre, The State Theatre and the Towne Theatre. Not having much luck on these. By any chance do you have any info on any of the three theatres?
Unfortunately I have nothing beyond what I have posted. I get to Bradenton about twice a year but the circumstances are such that I never have time to do research.

The January 22, 1916, issue of The Moving Picture world reported that the New Wallace Theatre at Bradenton, Florida, had opened in July, 1915, and had been prospering since, while two other movie theaters in Bradenton had succumbed to competition from the new house.
