The website is here. Theatre is currently for sale.
This actually opened as the Granada Theatre on March 23, 1935 with Charles Boyer in “Caravan” along with several shorts including an unnamed cartoon and a newsreel. The Granada Theatre was renamed the Gem Theatre on March 13, 1947 following new management takeover and remodeling.
The Granada Theatre was the replacement of the Empress Theatre which closed around the same time as the Granada’s opening. That theater had been operating since June 30, 1913.
Hi all, I am new to the site and looking for help. I am a researcher on a book dealing with cinema in British Columbia. I would love to include reminiscences about specific theatres, photos, or any information about how film and theatres in general affected your life and/or community. This would include rented films, documentaries from libraries, as well as local theatres or film study groups. Any information you would like to share would be most welcome.
Anyone interested can contact me at
Thanks for sharing your love of movies!
