Unfortunately I am not computer savvy enough to do that. I copy & paste them, and you should be able to copy, right click & open them up in a new window. I found this recent batch of previously unlisted Toronto theatres on the Vintage Toronto Facebook page. I then searched the name of each one with the words “Theatre Toronto Taylor History” to bring up those specific links.

Sharing this June 2018 link because it has close-ups of some of the stone details.

I. Brotman mentioned above must have been Oscar Brotman’s father. Oscar later ran the Loop, Cinema Art, Carnegie and other theatres.

DavidZornig commented about Fleet Theatre on Apr 21, 2019 at 7:54 pm

Update: Correct address is 115 N. Main Street. Building is still standing. Built, opened and operated by Sol Winokour from Chicago in 1938. Suffered a fire May 21, 1946 but later reopened. Changed ownership several times and was renamed Fleet in 1952. Closed in 1954 and became the Watervliet Furniture Company and maintained the marquee with that name. In 1992 it became Bob’s Hobby & Collector Shop which has now moved down the street as B and E Racing as of 2018, but still owns the building. His saga in the below link including condition of the former theatre building.
