Are you sure, Don? The comments on this page and on that for the Capri V certainly imply or say directly that theaters were merged, and even the picture you posted of the Capitol looks like it was merged into the theater next door by virtue of the continuous red brick lower facade.
If the information here: View link is correct, this entry actually refers to the second Lux Theatre on the site. An earlier Lux Theatre, which was born as the Rex in 1911, and then renamed the Avalon, then the Lacombe, and then the Lux, stood on the site previously.
Oh, it is amazing what happens when you run a search on the net sometimes. I tend to agree that the bandshell in the photos is probably at some East Coast beach location; on the other hand it could be more inland. I grew up in Cleveland, and amusement parks on both the U.S. and Canadien sides of the Great Lakes had bandshells much like that and often had fireworks on summer nights.
This theater appears to be already listed; see the comments under the Capri V: /theaters/17477/
Apparently there were originally two theaters in the building that were later combined in the creation of a five-plex.
This will not help with the photographs but will provide you with one place and dates when your grandmother performed. According to a programme for the Nova Scotia Provincial Exhibition of 1929, held in Halifax, the Six Rockets performed there at least once during the period of August 24-31, 1929.
The programme is for sale by Doull Books: http://www.doullbooks.com
It is just my opinion, but do one-time showings of films in a recreational park really qualify the venue as a cinema or a theater? Many cities do this in some of their parks every summer, and I doubt if anyone would think of posting these sites here on CT.
The correct spelling should be “Westmount,” according to the Empre Theatres website.
According to the Empire Theatres website and other websites which show movie times for this theatre, the correct spelling should be “Clareview.”
