Closed on September 4, 1986 with “Bullies”.
And as shown by Mike Rivest’s ad, the Hyland became part of the Odeon chain from its reopening, then part of Cineplex Odeon in 1984.
Reopened as Hyland on December 23rd, 1965. Another ad posted.
Architect Edward Isaac Richmond (1908-1982) is best known as a prolific designer of high rise apartment buildings in Toronto during the post-war period. The firm he founded is still in operation.
The Biltmore in Kingston was the second house in the Okun Bros. Biltmore Theatres chain. The earlier Biltmore was opened at Oshawa in 1940, and four more houses were added to the chain in the post-war period.
