Actual opening date is December 18, 1913. What’s strange about Calgary’s early movie theaters is that there are two Isis Theatres operating at the same time during the World War I era.
The 1966 Calgary Herald ads for the MAC 14 production of “Under the Yum Yum Tree” list the address for the Mac Theatre as 1110 1st Street SW. We may need another theatre location, or more information on when the Isis showed films.
Searching newspapers, directories, digital collections at the University of Calgary - I can find no evidence of an Isis Theatre at 1106 11th Avenue, or for two Isis Theatres operating at the same time. I will write a new history for consideration by the site administrators.
Uploaded photos as the Isis and later as the Musicians and Actors.
