Sans Souci Theatre (Ybor City)

The Gem Theatre opened as a burlesque theatre on October 26, 1908 at 1315 7th Avenue and closed three months later. It was reopened on February 8, 1909 as the Sans Souci Ybor by Burgert and Ratliff. The Sans Souci Ybor opened as a vaudeville and moving picture theatre.

The Sans Souci blade (relocated after the original Sans Souci at 116 Lafayette closed) can be seen in front of the Ybor location in 1919.
