Built in 1931 for the Famous Players circuit. Now a live performing arts venue. A well maintained example of a neighbourhood theatre for the period.

I think the last film to play at this theatre was “The Marrying Man” in early 1991.
Considering it was best theatre in Vancouver, that was kind of a sour note to leave off on!
It couldn’t have been The Marrying Man.
That film had a release date of April 1991, The Stanley closed in September 1991, after running “ The Rocketeer ” all summer in 70mm.
I am sure the last film they played on closing night was the 1990 version of “ Fantasia ” in 70mm.
