The Majestic Music Hall was in operation by late 1909. The May 10, 1911 issue of Contract Record, a Canadian construction journal, said that the Majestic had been designed by architect Walter S. Painter, who had soon after become chief architect for the Canadian Pacific Railroad. Walter Scott Painter designed a number of theaters in Canada and the United States.

No…the Paramount was renamed the Scotiabank because they pumped a lot of money into the Scene card promotion scheme, and offer Scene branded debit and credit cards to collect Cineplex redeemable points.

I for one refuse to call the Paramount the Scotiabank; it’s a CINEMA, not a bank.

Perhaps I should open a bank and call it Rialto?
