Clermont, then a small citrus town near Orlando, received its first movie theater in 1915, the Reliance Airdome. A new theater, the Reliance Theatre, was built on the airdome’s site in 1922; it was fitted for sound in 1929.
By 1950, it had become the Lake Theatre until its closure in 1960. It appears that it was demolished almost immediately.

I believe the local newspaper now occupies the site of the Lake Theatre in Clermont.
You might be right. This is a picture of the block from sometime in the 40s. The Lake is just next door to the large building on the left side. I believe you can see how the awning rises up a little bit at the far edge. I can’t seem to make out any theater signage, though.
When I visited the Clermont Historical Association at least a year ago, the person in charge told me the theatre was at the site of the newspaper’s offices.
