Too bad no photos.

Listed in the 1951 Film Daily but not in 1955. The only theater listed for Dade City in 1955 is the Pasco Theater.

Looks like status should be closed/demolished:

Thanks Ken. Lacking a photo of this theater to gauge its size, I would go with the 600 seat count that you found in the FDYB.

lostmemory…No addresses given in any of the F.D.Y.B. I have. Seating is still given as 550 in 1943 but it has risen to 600 in the 1950 edition!

Ken….The seat count of 900 is what I found listed for opening day. Its possible that the seating was reduced or the person that counted the seats didn’t attend math class on a regular basis. Does the FDYB list an address?

The Film Daily Yearbook, 1941 gives a seating capacity of 550.

This is what I found on this theater:

Style-Mediterranean
Seats-900
Opened-May 15,1926
Owner-Floyd Theaters

I can’t find a numbered address. The location that I found for the Crescent theater is 5th St At Florida Ave.

Looks like the renovation plans fell through.
