Opened on December 22, 1950, this Wometco flagship site had a moving ceiling that exposed the lobby garden to the sun.
Designed by architect Michael DeAngelis, with architect Roy F. France as associate, this was one of Florida’s best theaters and yet was allowed to deteriorate. The building still stands as a shopping arcade of sorts.

Does anybody have a clue as to the condition of the hulk?This is clearly the largest theater space sitting in Miami Beach.
A picture of this theater may be found with an accompanying article from 1951 here:

Just passed by the theater remnant last week. There is no mention at all on the posts above about the condition of the interior of thei theater. Yes, the marquee and beautiful Facade are gone but the huge theater structure remains. With the loss of the Lincoln Theatre down the road to become an H & M is this a “Hidden Gem” in Miami Beach?
I doubt it, Luis. It was a mini-mall for years.
December 22nd Grand opening ad has been placed in the photo section.
