This acrylic painting pays homage to the now defunct Pheil Theatre in St. Petersburg, Florida,
The Pheil Theatre was located at 424 Central Avenue.
This was an interesting theatre. It was part of the PHEIL HOTEL building and you entered under the screen. The projection booth was built out over an alley.
The story told by even members of the IATSE local was that when the booth equipment was delivered, the workmen wanted to know if the booth equipment should be delivered to the booth. When asked that question the response was, “Booth ? What booth ?” Because the theatre had no projection booth and that was why it was built hanging out over an alley.
The Pheil Theatre opened February 20, 1919. Allegedly it had a domed ceiling with cherubs. It was demolished to make way for a bank building in 1959.
Here is the Pheil Theatre in 1932, screening “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” (Paramount, 1931). Admission was 15 cents for adults, 10 cents for children, and 50 cents for box seats.
