The First is the re-opening of the Fotosho which had been torn down and rebuilt that year on the same spot. The second is the ad for the Cameo in Allapattah which I had never heard of.
The Riviera mentioned in the copy was in Homestead.
The Standard was showing films from at least 1916 and still advertising as the Standard in 1924. The Stoddard name did not appear until the early thirties.
I believe the reluctance by CT editors to list the aka names (Beverly Hills, San Juan) may come from the fact that these theatre names co-existed with the Audubon ballroom and that the San Juan theatre was reportedly demolished while the ballroom was not.
Please note from the introduction that the ballroom on the northern upstairs end of the building where Malcolm X was shot was a separate entity from the Fox theatre on the southern downstairs end and that the eventual demolition was only a partial remodel of a wrapped building housing both.
While the Audubon Ballroom still stands in some form, the cinema end, the Fox Audubon (Beverly Hills, San Juan) theatre listed here, is for all practical purposes, demolished.
The theatre always did well. The landlord wanted it out of there as they felt a movie theatre cheapened the building and they could get better terms from other options. They refused to let Cineplex Odeon triplex it at their own expense.
Operating in 1969 as the Under-Ground.

Thanks to Mike Rivest for finding the Miami News online.
Mike, that paper has two other interesting finds.
The First is the re-opening of the Fotosho which had been torn down and rebuilt that year on the same spot. The second is the ad for the Cameo in Allapattah which I had never heard of.
The Riviera mentioned in the copy was in Homestead.
Cool find, Mike.
The Irving Place is often crediting for starting the first domestic Film Festival in 1942, a tribute to films from our allies.
There was another Public theatre on second avenue and fourth street in the thirties that occasionally showed movies.
The Peoples operated at least from 1930 to 1941.
I agree with Warren’s post of August 3, 2007 that this opened in 1921 as the New Strand.
This is still listed as open in the 1947 Film Daily Yearbook.
The Symphony was already open in 1918.
The Thalia was already open in 1932.
The Standard was showing films from at least 1916 and still advertising as the Standard in 1924. The Stoddard name did not appear until the early thirties.
This Orpheum opened in 1918.
Garth, the East World is listed here:

Nice work, guys!
