The Savoy Theater opened around 1909. This silent era theater was demolished in the early 20’s to make way for the seventeen-story Lynch Building that was constructed in 1926.

The Savoy was one of several Jacksonville houses mentioned in an article in the May 27, 1911 issue of The New York Clipper. Of the Savoy the article says it “…is of simply beautiful design, and is one of the sights of the city.” The 1914-1915 American Motion Picture Directory does not list the Savoy, but there is a Prince Theatre located at Forsyth and Main. I wonder if that could have been an aka? The Prince was open prior to March 1, 1913, as it was mentioned in that date’s issue of Moving Picture World.
Okay, this web page has a map showing the locations of Jacksonville’s historic theaters, and the Savoy was a the southwest corner of Forsyth and Main while the Prince was at the northwest corner and became the Rialto. That un-explains why the Savoy was not listed in the AMPD in 1914.
