Florida Theatre - Framed Print
The Florida Theatre is a historic American movie theater located in Jacksonville, Florida. Opened in April 1927, it was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places on November 4, 1982.
The theatre is one of only four remaining high-style movie palaces built in Florida during the Mediterranean Revival architectural boom of the 1920s.
At the time of the opening, the Florida Theatre was the largest theatre in Florida. The opening night had several programs featuring fanfare of the American Legion Bugle Corps, a live stage show, and the film Let It Rain. The Florida Theatre was open from 11:00 AM to 11:00 PM, showing various films, newsreels, or a stage presentation.
On August 10–11, 1956, Elvis Presley played two shows at the Florida Theatre to the dislikes of Jacksonville's city leadership. A committee was formed, and Judge Marion Gooding prepared arrest warrants due to Presley's bodily movements and influence on the local youth. Elvis performed the show with no action from the police or Gooding.
