Beacham Theatre
Following an effort to "bring back the aesthetics of the old Beacham Theatre," in 2000 owners restored the Beacham's ornate plaster ceiling moldings, facade, and marquee. In addition, the sloping theater floor was made level and the stage was elevated. The original Beacham Theatre sign is awaiting restoration and is being stored on the roof.
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.
