The sale of the Capital (sp?) Theatre in Raymond was reported in the Lethbridge Herald in September 1968. The Brewerton family had owned the Capital since 1912. I assume that Raymond is a separate city in Alberta, but sometimes these Canadian suburbs get lumped into the main metro area. If anyone recalls this theater in Raymond, let me know.

If this theater opened in 1929, what does that have to do with this theater?

If the two theaters are the same, then the opening date given in the introduction is incorrect.

Isn’t that information about a theater in a different town?

If you read my comment, I noted that some of these small Canadian towns get subsumed into the larger city, i.e Raymond into Lethbridge, such that the small city no longer exists separately. That’s why I wouldn’t add the theater in Raymond pending confirmation that this is not an exurb of Lethbridge.

Raymond is a town located south of Lethbridge.

In regards to the movie theatres in Lethbridge and in Raymond, I have attended movies in BOTH locations for MANY years and they were two totally separate entities! How I wish I could once again walk into these two theatres!
