Pathe Theatre (Ybor City)

The Pathe "electric" theatre opened on October 26, 1907 in the Gutierrez Building on the SE corner of 7th and 16th in Ybor City. Burgert & Ratliff, who operated the Sans Souci downtown, opened The Pathe in Ybor "for the purpose of starting an up to date moving picture show for the benefit of the Latin people, making specialty of French and foreign pictures."
