This theatre used to be part of Nat Taylor’s 20th Century Theatres group. Taylor also operated I.F.D. a film distribution company specializing in art house fare and ran Toronto’s two main art houses: the Towne and the International. In the mid 60’s Nat decided he needed an additional outlet for his films and the Midtown became the Capri. But even with a generous budget for an ad campaign it wasn’t a success.
