This opened on September 3rd, 1971, and its official opening on September 22nd. Grand opening ads posted.
I have two postcards showing Goderich Street (one card identifies it as Main Street) from Gustavas Street. Both show a movie theater on Goderich at Gustavas, across from the Queen’s Hotel (now Queen’s Bar and Grill). I don’t see a name on the building, but the side of the canopy/marquee states: ALL TALKING. I don’t think this is the same building that is seen on the Google street view.
I remember watching “the Empire strikes back” at this theater and watching the original trailer for “the Shining” which scared me to death at the time. I was around 8 years old and I beleive that is why this theater stands out in my head.
We used to have a cottage in the area and I also went to see the original “Superman” there as well. Good times….
