The Parliament Theatre was located in the “Cabbagetown” area of Toronto on Parliament Street near Gerrard Street. It closed in 1963 and is now used for retail.
Any further information on the Parliament Theatre would be appreciated.

This theatre should not be confused with the later Parliament Cinema which was also on Parliament Street, a few blocks away, and was only named that after this Parliament Theatre closed.
Chris, there was information on the Gay theatre page that pertained to this Parliment, but it seems that Ken erased all of the info. I know that I had the photo on the wrong page and that is gone but some of the Parliment info should have been moved to this page.
Chuck, I put the photo back as a link on the Parliament Cinema page; you might want to move it to the photos page there; if you do, I will remove my comment with the link. I should have probably let you do that, since you posted the photo originally.
Ken may have inadvertently removed some still valid commentary when he took out the now-extraneous, irrelevant, and/or inaccurate comments; let us hope contributors can or will restore pertinent information to the respective pages.
In my note to him, I pointed out that the Parliament Cinema was in fact the final name of the Gay/Bluebell and the B&W photo was on the wrong page. I did say that after the clean-ups were made, some comments could be removed, but the decision regarding which ones were his. At least, what is on both respective pages now appears accurate. I don’t know if any still-valuable comments could be restored; I would guess probably not.
