This was a rather ugly theatre just up the street from the beautiful Cinema Theatre. Opened on March 24, 1967 with Essy Persson in “I, a Woman”. It was part of the Brandt chain, who also at the time ran several theatres on Miami Beach. It was a small theatre, rather long and narrow with an aisle running down the left side of the theatre.
It shuttered sometime in the mid-1970’s. This house has been turned into an Irish pub.

this was the worst theatre in the world. Uncomforable seats. It was also a hangout for the elderly to get out of the heat. I think it was a department store at one time…and a bank.
is this the former plaza art?

I believe the Plaza Art was indeed a bank and returned to being a bank after it closed. Woody, your photo above looks like the Plaza Art.
The Plaza Art reportedly had front doors taken from the Paramount in New York after it closed. It closed as a movie theatre in 1976.
The Brandt Plaza Art theatre opened on March 24th, 1967 with “I, a Woman”. Grand opening ad as well as an ad from the New York Times February 12th, 1967 as well.
