According to Dr. Wayne Wood's Jacksonville’s Architectural Heritage: Landmarks for the Future, the Florida Theatre was a part of a short lived American phenonmeon of fantasy-inspired movie palaces that began with New York City's opulent Regent Theatre in 1913 and was spread by theatre promoter S.L. "Roxy" Rothafel.
