Closed 25 October 1958 due to a natural gas explosion at an adjacent building. The collapsed roof and back wall was repaired and the ground floor of the building continued to be used for retail until finally being torn down in the late 90’s or early 00’s. Located at 142 Bank St.

That flickr picture of the Starbucks is at Queen West & Dovercout, not the address listed for this theatre.

From another site: 1286 Bloor St. West near Lansdowne (1934-1965) â€"498 seats – still standing but with different uses

As part of the Odeon chain, was called the Glebe Theatre 1947-1956.

The building still exists. It’s a hardware store and restaurant with entrances on 2nd Avenue.

The Capitol was demolished and replaced by an office tower which also housed a replacement theatre, the Capitol Square, with 3 screens. This theatre closed about 3 years ago and has now been converted to office space.
