Chad mentions that the Grover Theatre was opened “since at least 1941”. I have run across some information that indicates it was opened at least a bit sooner. My father was born (1916) and raised just a block south of the Danforth and when reading over his diary he made the following entry for Friday October 25, 1940 – “After supper I called up Clarence and we went to the Grover Theatre . We saw “Two Girls on Broadway” (released: April 19, 1940) and “20 Mule Team” (released: May 3, 1940).
