Here is a picture I took in July 2011.
Photos from April 2011 of the theatre: 1, 2
The Art Theatre opened around 1941 and lasted until about 1951-52. The Garden (singular) was operating in 1934 at least, and the original incarnation as the Park-Seventh was operating in 1927 for sure.
No, it was open as the Garden Theatre in the 30s and as the Park-Seventh as far back as 1927.

If you go to the Website and go to Space Rentals you can see an interior photo of the theater.
In 1935 it was called the Gardens Theater.
I THINK it opened on December 25, 1948 as the Art Theater? At that time it had 400 seats and its first film was THE BEST YEARS OF OUR LIVES. Or is this a different theater??
It was open at least till ~1951? Anyone care to verify the exact dates?
Anyone have more info or more photos?
There’s a small nighttime picture on their website. I’ll drive down there this December or so and get some pictures of the Florida, Ace, Burns Court, and Gompertz.
