The Poinciana Theatre at Tampa was mentioned in the July 6, 1912 issue of Moving Picture World. An ebay listing of a picture postcard of this house styling it the Montgomery Theater and postmarked 1913 has a description from the seller (Mitten State Treasures) saying: “Rare image of a theater that only existed from 1911-1916. It was called the Poincaina Theatre when it opened on the corner of Florida Avenue and Cass Street.” The seller does not cite a source for the dates claim, but it could be accurate (despite the misspelling of Poinciana.) There is no Montgomery Theatre listed at Tampa in the 1926 FDY.
