Actually, the New Lyric Theatre was still running movies ten years after it opened, so its like an error from the book. However it did host at least a couple of special events at times but otherwise it still runs movies as normal.
The Lyric Theatre closed on June 30, 1962 with Randolph Scott in “Ride The High Country” and John Mills in “The Singer Not The Song”.
The Mainstreet opened with Shirley Temple in “Stand Up And Cheer” and Ann Harding in “Gallant Lady” along with Walt Disney’s Silly Symphony “The China Shop”.
Opened with Mary Brian in “Monte Carlo Nights” along with an unnamed Krazy Kat cartoon, the novelty “Smoke Of Thunder”, and the documentary short “Oil’s Well” (not the Oswald The Lucky Rabbit cartoon with the same name).
Opened with Joan Crawford in “Possessed” along with the serial “Heroes Of The West”, a travelogue on London, England, and an unnamed Laurel & Hardy comedy.
The Paramount Theatre opened with Jean Arthur in “A Foreign Affair” with no extras, and originally had a capacity of 1,392 seats (with 834 seats in the orchestra pit and 558 seats in the balcony). It was first managed by F. Harrison Howe, who also formerly managed the nearby Imperial/Capitol Theatre.
This opened as replacements of the Place 400 Cinemas, the Parkway Cinema, and the King Square Cinema. The Place 400 and the Parkway will have their own CT pages soon.
The Grand Bay Drive-In opened its gates on July 18, 1952 with Susan Hayward in “Tulsa” and the Bowery Boys in “Ghost Chasers” along with a short entitled “Spooks Ahoy”.
One notable employee who worked at the Grand Bay Drive-In is Donald Gordon Robertson, a teenager who worked at both the Plaza Theatre and the Grand Bay Drive-In for only a single year in 1980. Unfortunately that’s because Robertson, along with three other men, were killed in a vehicle accident in October 1981.
The Grand Bay Drive-In closed on September 5, 1982 with “Chariots Of Fire” and “Blaze Runner”.
The actual Capitol Theatre closing date is October 26, 1957 with Fred MacMurray in “Quantez” and a special attraction on Queen Elizabeth II’s first visit to Canada (which happened in Ottawa a couple of weeks prior).
The Interstate was later operated by Music Makers, then Loews, then Sony, and finally Loews Cineplex. The Interstate went under the names “Loews Interstate Twin” and “Sony Interstate Twin” during both Loews and Sony operations, but went back to “Loews Interstate Twin” after Sony reverted back to Loews in October 1996.
Loews Cineplex closed the Interstate Twin on August 24, 2000 with “Autumn In New York” in Screen 1 and “Nutty Professor 2: The Klumps” in Screen 2.
The marquee got destroyed by Tropical Storm Helene. Are the screens still standing? If they are, then how is the drive-in going to operate without its marquee?
The Florida Theatre once sat abandoned for four years after closing on April 19, 1979 with “Richard Pryor In Concert”. On August 21, 1983, the Florida Theatre reopened as the Cinema N' Drafthouse with Burt Reynolds in “Stroker Ace”. It was renamed “The Movie Pub” in November 1987 and closed the following month.
