That would be Mini Art Cinema at Sheridan Avenue and 41 Street, on Tropic of Cancer, but it wasn’t advertised as the Sheridan Theatre as the Song of Norway notice was on the prior page.

@Al, you did a great job posting those pics of clippings on flickr. Thanks.

Also, at the link you provided, @AlAlvarez, the January 1, 1971, Miami News shows that Tropic of Cancer starring Rip Torn (X Rated) was playing at the Sheridan Theatre.

I may be wrong, however, I remember Deep Throat being on the Roosevelt’s marquee. I went to school across the street. I defer to others' more able memory (or possible first hand knowledge) on this point.

I remember Fiddler on the Roof, Song of Norway and Tora Tora Tora being played at the Sheridan for the longest time in the early seventies.

Every Saturday night, when I was about 12 or 13 in 1977 and 1978 I would help a black kid, who had a year or two on me, sell newspapers from under the Sheridan marquee. He was saving up to buy a motorcycle. The theater had been closed for a few years by then. A non-movie event may have been held in the theater, possibly a sales presentation, prior to its destruction.

Thank you all for the wonderful links and memories.

Hi Al. I am sure Deep Throat was NOT played at the Sheridan Theater but at the Roosevelt Theater about 4 blocks west on Arthur Godfrey Road (41st Street).

I don’t remember any Rated X movies being played at the Sheridan but at the Roosevelt.

I remember that Tora Tora Tora had a long run at the Sheridan as well.
