In the 1920s:

Recreation was given a much needed boost with the opening of the new Pompano Theater, the only movie house between Fort Lauderdale and Delray Beach. Constructed by the Kester Brothers at a cost of $85,000.00 the two story Spanish style theater was designed by Fort Lauderdale architect C. Hobart Sherwood and featured two stores and office space as well as a large pipe organ and enough seats for 650 lovers of the silver screen.

The Pompano Theater was heavily damaged in the 1928 hurricane.
