My father’s name was Benjamin Dixon and he previously worked at a theatre in Panama City Florida before relocating to Bradenton for this job.

I’m trying to do research on the Lincoln Theater in Bradenton Fl. This theater was located on 109-9th Av West and was an African-American movie theater when my father managed it from 1959 to about 1965. It was demolished sometime during the mid to late 60’s.
