This unidentified, undated photo shows an early movie theater in Jacksonville.  On the right, a father appears to lead his daughter, in a striped dress & hat, into the lobby.  Notice how many of the posters state "TODAY," since silent films often came & went in only a day or two.

At first glance, the marquee seems to announce a movie called "She Loved too Late," starring Theda Bara, "The Vamp" seductress of the silent film era.  Nothing turned up on an "Internet Movie Database" search or in a "Google" search.
