Add a photo for this theater!
Opened March 22, 1929, and closed in 1984. In the early 1950's, this theater had live stage shows, and in 1965, The Sound of Music played here for two years. United Theatres owned this 1148-seat theater.

As of 2001, the east wall collapsed. Interior gutted and marquee removed. Heavily braced against further collapse.

Wasn't this a repertory cinema for a time in the early 1980s? Here is a photo I took around 1989.

What's especially tragic about the loss of Seville is that when she closed as a moviehouse, she could've been preserved in a similar manner to that of Toronto's Runnymede Theatre.

They retained Runnymede's character by incorporating it into her new incarnation as a Chapters bookstore. If you don't know what I mean, go here-->

I really wish they'd do this to old theatres more often, instead of gutting. Poor Seville.
