heres a couple of shots taken last week of the former carib, sadly the wonderful frontage and marquee has gone, but the auditorium block still stands, the front is boarded up.

There is an entire chapter devoted to the Carib theater in the book Miami Beach: Blueprint of an Eden, published by Feierabend Unique Books, Nov-Dec, 2005. Available on Amazon.

An photo of the front of the Carib Theatre was printed in the New York Sunday Times Magazine of October 9th. The 1959 film The Best of Everything, with Joan Crawford and Hope Lange, appears on the marquee.

Growing up in Miami,I often attended this beautiful theatre as a child. I remember the lush tropical lobby garden complete with running streams and parrots. The auditorium was spectacular with rocking chair seats and lighted maps of the Caribbean on the walls. It had a giant screen to show CinemaScope films (mostly 20th FOX films). You can catch a glimpse of this beautiful theatre’s marquee in a featurette that is included on one of the DVD’s in the first Marilyn Monroe box set. I believe its at the premiere of THE GLENN MILLER STORY. I think the Carib (I believe it was built in 1950) was the most beautiful theatre on Lincoln Road.
