Good place to catch indies.
Recently saw the Bruce Weber film on his family of dogs and friends.
I found the following from THE MIAMI HERALD dated Sunday, March 7, 1954. The column is titled “Broadway in Broward” and one of the items is a write-up of the Gateway Theater:
Miller Film is Hit
“The Glenn Miller movie was the Gateway Theater’s all-time box office hit. It played to 28,313 people in 13 days. Manager Keith Hendee’s figures show. Bigger than "The Robe”…Viewers of a certain pre-war age bracket who were reared on records like “In the Mood” and and “Tuxedo Junction” took it much to heart, were slightly astonished to realize that several sets of teenagers have come and gone without knowing Miller music. Only criticism [of the movie]: The dates were switched around."

The theater opened in 1950 and was run by Wometco. It is currently run by Sunrise cinemas. It is one of my favorite theaters. They have all pictures and posters in the lobby. They also had the world premiere of Where The Boys Are in 1960.
