Listed in the 1950 Film Daily Yearbook...MacDill and S. Carlos (San Carlos?)...548 seats.
What a wonderful family movie theatre for South Tampa kids.....our parents felt safe to drop us off for the Sat.matinee cartoons...later in our Wilson Jr. High days it was a meeting place for "wanna be" couples ...too young for real car dates. great memories of innocent times..
A good photo is available through the USF library ..look for Robertson and Fresh Collection of Tampa Photographs......
Harriette Plant High Class of 55
This theatre was also the original home of the Palma Ceia Methodist Church, started more than 60 years ago. Pastor Paul Wagner and church leaders would meet every Sunday morning to sweep up popcorn boxes, etc. before they could hold services.
When the congregation moved to Bay to Bay & Dale Mabry and built its sanctuary, the leaders designed it with movie-style seats instead of traditional pews -- as a salute to the church's founding at P.Ceia Theatre.
