Colony Theatre

[3] Paramount Pictures built the Colony Theatre in the 1930s, an Art Deco movie house on Miami Beach's Lincoln Road.

Notable films that played at the movie house included Alfie, The Sound of Music, Doctor Zhivago, and The Great Race.

[6] Architect, Morris Lapidus, remodels all of Lincoln Road in Miami Modern style of architecture, and the theatre goes back to being a movie house.

[7] Samuel Kipnis purchases the theatre in 1971, and hosts the Greater Miami Educational Cultural Series, a non-profit organization that supplied films from his private library.

Under the city's ownership, the theatre was used as a rental space for live performances such as theatrical productions, music concerts, and dance recitals.
