Florida State Theatres did always seem to have a “FLORIDA” Theatre in each town.

Snopes, it was always a Twin. The single screen Florida burned down in 1964 and was located at 2018 Hollywood Boulevard. These early twin theatres often played the same film on both screens with two prints and staggered showtimes.

Joe, I actually worked with a Florida State Theatres employee who was very upset that a new name not awarded. He felt that it was a cheap attempt to just keep part of the old marquee by ABC and a sham.

Walter Reade Theatres did not have concession stands, so cleaning time was minimal. The concessions stands were added by later owners.
