The Maple Leaf Theatre with Marquee (Late 70s?)
Here is a photo of The Maple Leaf Theatre of Mount Dennis. This photo (John Manzietta, contributor)has the old marquee still attached. Wording should be changed. The Legion Branch 31 Mt Dennis may have used this building before their building was completed in 1953.It was not The Legion itself.

Old number system was 1006 Weston Rd. New number system is 1040 Weston Rd.
The Maple leaf Theatre was also called ‘'The Bug Rush’. Pam Boyd’s mother (d.) who was born in 1914, provided this info through Wayne Cook. Given that the mother was born in 1914 and probably started going to the theatre in the mid 1920s, this name had been around for awhile.So it may have had a history because The Maple Leaf Theatres were mentioned in Toronto Directories before 1920.This building is still there.
