Beacham Theatre
The Beacham, as it is currently named, has since been used as a series of concert venues and nightclubs thus saving it from demolition. The Beacham Theatre was once home to the late-night underground discotheque Aahz that is recognized internationally as a birthplace and critical component of the electronic dance music movement.
Beacham Theatre
On December 9, 1921, Orlando's premier vaudeville and movie house opened by showing "The Wonderful Thing", starring Norma Talmadge, a Pathé News newsreel, and Buster Keaton's "The Boat". The Beacham Theatre was originally the only independent theater in Orlando. However, the next year, in 1922, Beacham leased his theater to Mack Sparks of the Sparks Theater Company chain.
