How funny that they only changed one letter to save money. In LA, the downtown Warners theater became Warren’s for a while, but that would have meant replacing no letters, just reversing the last syllable.
The 1963 IMPA lists the Rosebank and Island in Hamilton as part of Bermuda General Theaters at that time. I don’t know if these may have been akas for the two Bermuda theaters that are currently listed. Also listed are the Sandys in Somerset and the Somers Opera House in St. Georges. Bermuda General Theaters was headquartered in Hamilton.
I think I can open a subalbum in photobucket. There is max of 1000 pictures in each album, apparently. Do me a favor, go the Granada page (West Hollywood theater) and see if that link works as well. Perhaps it only affects me as I cannot open the 1970 link on this page. Thanks.
They might have worked right after I posted them, but then I deleted some entries as I had exceeded the max allowed in that album. I have to go back and restore the ones I deleted.
It looks like I deleted some of my recent photobucket entries by mistake. This message will come up on some other pages as well. I will go back and fix the problem when I have a chance.
Here are some photos from October 2007:

I think the photographer hit the zoom button a few too many times.
Very thorough job. Thanks.
I would say that the marquee is art deco. I don’t know about the rest of it. The building may still be standing.
That’s a pretty good bet that it’s the same theater. Status should be closed but not demolished. Thanks.
This was listed as the Airline Drive-In in the 1963 IMPA. Operator at the time was Leon Asper. Capacity was 520 cars.
This is 3020 University, but I believe it’s the former theater:

Thanks for the clarification.
Thw 1963 IMPA shows the Paramount as part of Purnell & Sons, headquartered in Red Deer. Purnell also ran the Red Deer Drive-in at that time.

I deleted some recent entries on photobucket by mistake. Later on I will have to go back and reenter those. Give me a few days.
OK, thanks.
