Here is a photo of the Orpheum in the 1960s.

The Orpheum has some claim to fame for admirers of Vittorio De Sica’s Italian neo-realist classic The Bicycle Thief/Ladri di biciclette, which played here at the Orpheum in May 1952 for two weeks only. A review appeared in the Montreal Gazette on May 20, 1952.

The image in that photo looks like Cine 539, elsewhere on Cinema Treasures.

I have a vintage chest of the Orpheum Theater troup with postcards signed by actors. Probably dating of its beginning.
Would have some patrimonial use ? I would be willing to donate it to a cultural foundation , if it is used (solely) for a patrimonial use.
