Originally opened as the Fairfax Theatre, in the 1930’s it was largely re-built and renamed Paramount Theatre.

The Cigar Store appears to have located near at the entrance of the theatre next to a Hippodrome Bar also located there or in the lobby.
I noticed several different phone books in the library during that period so that Coral Gables and Miami Beach theatres were not all listed in the Miami book but had their own directory. There were also listings under “Motion Picture Theatre”.

I have wonderful memories of Paramount theater. I am 73, my first job was at candy counter and i gt chewewed out for adding too much butter to pop corn. Later I worked at a twin theater and wondering if that was the olmpia. Paramount was next to a famous hamburger pl and my boyfribned, Johnny, usher, wld go there after work. I am so mad that I cannot remember the name, I know it like it was my own.It was not white castle, on that order. wonderful memories
It was probably a Royal Castle next to the Paramount, plantladie12.
The Olympia was never a twin. There were no twins downtown.
The first twin in Miami was the Twin Gables, actually on S.W. 22nd Street, not in Gables.
The Sunny Isles and Dadeland opened before the Twin Gables.
OK, I stand corrected. Since Dadeland was in Kendall, I didn’t think of it much, but the Twin Gables I passed often. — I worked for Wometco for 13 months.
I believe the Hippodrome was on the corner of the Florida Theater. The Fotosho became the Paramount. I think the Hippdrome became the Florida.
