This theatre was owned and operated by B & F Theatres, a Famous Players Theatres partnership situation. Sam Bloom and Sam Fine operated 20 luxurious theatres during the theatre boom in the suburban areas of Toronto!!

That’s right. The old Bellvue became the Lux. My parents would often take me to the long gone theatre on many a Saturday night. I have very fond memories of the theatre.
