Listed in the 1950 Film Daily Yearbook...327 seats.
Kelly, what a great idea for a blog! I have a list of theaters that were once in Tampa and the surrounding areas (all of which you may already be familiar). I'll make a note to myself to send you a copy (probably tomorrow).
I have been thinking about putting together a post of drive-ins that used to be in Tampa for Screening Tampa, but it's sort of on the back burner right now.
Hi Dave!
Thank you for your post!
I think a blog regarding the Drive-Ins is a great idea, as they were extremely popular from what I hear :)
Please do send me a copy of the list of theatres if you don't mind sharing. You can send it to bambookazoo@yahoo.com
Thanks again!!

Hi Kelly,
What a fantastic site! Thanks so much for creating it. I had hoped someone would eventually create a site specifically for Tampa's old movie houses. I've seen several sites where other cities have created a webpage for their theaters of years ago but there's never been one for Tampa.
I've always loved old theaters, and having lived here all my life I'm familiar with several on your list. There are also a few I can recall that are not listed.
Question: is there a limit to the number of words one can place on a blog? I'd like to post some history/details on several theaters, and was just wondering if blogs should be kept to a minimum of words so as not to bore with too many details.
Thanks!
Nick
Hi Nick,
Thank you so much for your post. There is not a limit at all, so please post as many comments as you would like and as much as you feel like contributing for each theatre. Also, please send me the theatres not yet on the list and I will be sure to add them ASAP.
Thank you again and I look forward to reading your stories!
:)

Hi Kelly, I have a map of demolished historic buildings in tampa, and I have the Victory and maybe one more on there. However, if you could provide some addresses I could add the rest and note your blog as well. Here is the link to the map:
