My father Dennis owned this theatre in the late 1960’s on. There were old movie flyers in the basement, and an old upright piano was still there up till the 2000’s. Inside we have photos of the old tapestrries, neon fixtures, and art deco arches/columns. Many seats were still there in the 80’s- old dark maroon velvet cushioned semi-recliners. I urged him to refurbish it as a movie theatre, liquor licence and all as his diner was next door. Sadly he didn’t listen, despite being a former general contractor. Brings back many memories of exploring the place as a kid, with all the old architecture, projection rooms, and a few hidden passages!
