Hollywood Theatre (Toronto)

[1][2] It opened in 1930 and was located on the east side of Yonge Street, north of St. Clair Avenue.

[3] The Hollywood Theatre was the first cinema in Toronto specifically built to show talking pictures – movies with sound.

The building was renovated multiple times, adding a second auditorium, seating 800 patrons, in 1946.

[2] In 1964, the film Mary Poppins played at the theatre for 44 weeks.

Famous Players closed the theatre in February 1999, and it was demolished later in 1999.
