There was, except that ruling only applied to Quebec.

Yes Davidzornig, there was such a ruling due to a fire. Here’s a link in Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laurier_Palace_Theatre_fire

Is this the same Rialto Theatre that The Hit Men will be performing on October 27, 2012? They are original members of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons.

I’m amazed that only 15 of the 58 theatres listed under Montreal, are still open.

I wonder if anyone from Canada can confirm, if there was a Canada wide ban on children from movie theatres back in the 1960’s.
While we visited Expo`67, my family & I tried to go out to the movies.
We were told at several theatres, that children were not allowed in any theatres no matter what film was playing.
Due to a terrible theatre fire not too long before that. One where the children had to be identified by their families after being layed out in the street.

Here are some photos of the theatre I took in 1989 when it was doing repertory programming.
