In the wake of modern suburban movie theatre chains, the Loews Theatre was the one cinema that still managed to covey to its visitors the pure magic of ‘an evening at the movies’. I do not understand why it was abandoned, and why not a soul has stepped forward to restore this movie theatre to its original status of “Grande Dame” ruling over St. Catherine’s Street. In my opinion, it was a true Montreal landmark, and it saddens me to see it advance in the various stages of its final decay.
