I was born, in Toronto, in 1952. We first lived on Maple Leaf drive near Jane and Lawrence. Then moved, in 1959, to Sheppard and Jane.

I know my parents brought me to the 400 as a baby often. They didn’t have much money, and with me sleeping in the back they knew everything would be OK.

Later, my cousins and I would go there in by aunt’s car almost every Saturday night. I remember so clearly playing on the swings in front of the theatre.

My movie life, up until I was able to drive on my own, was split between the Odeon Weston (Lawrence and Weston Road) and the 400.

I recall when the other screens where added. My parents would take my sister and brothers to see the main feature. I would sometimes turn around to look at the other two screens in the hope I’d see something “naughty” (adult rated). Never happened though.
