Not so fast. The theatre was dismantled and resurrected in Maple Ridge at 12471 254th St. It is now a riding ring and used by the North Fraser Theraputic Riding Association (NFTRA)
After the Alma stopped showing films in 1955, it sat vacant until Bobby Taylor and Tommy Chong (famous for being part of the comedy duo Cheech and Chong) opened a Vancouver Nightclub called Blues Palace at the old theater site. Ike and Tina Turner Revue had a run there as well. Although it hasn’t been substantiated, there were rumors that a young unknown Jimi Hendrix performed at this site. The theater has since been demolished and now houses a strip mall.
