As near as I can figure, this theater was part of the Frobisher Bay Air Base, which was established in 1942. The theater was operated by the U.S. military until the mid-1950s, at which time the house was taken over by Bryan Pearson, who would much later (1996) open the Astro Theatre. I haven’t been able to establish a closing date, but it appears to have been prior to 1975. The air base was converted into a civilian commercial airport in 1963.
