How was the auditorium originally configured for the Tara? It had a relatively short span as a single screen operation and by the time I got around to patronizing the theatre it had been split down the centre. Was it a modified Cinerama or a large rectangular screen akin to what was originally installed at the Twelve Oaks?
Although I was long gone from Jawa before United Artist moved in, the only Hoyt operations I recall in Atlanta were a ten screen multiplex at the Roswell Mall and the Midtown Eight.
Check out the Franklin Cinema. There is a big community effort underway to get this theatre up and running again as a venue for both live performance and film.

This neat little theatre has been opened and closed rather frequently during the past few years. Hopefully it has found a niche with enough of the permanent residences of the island to sustain it.
The City Directory for Palm Beach County lists two Kettler Theatres, one at 102 Narcissus Avenue South (1925-1930) and the other at 126 Myrtle St (1930-1935?). There is no listing for a Kettler on Celmatis Street.
