The theater was resurrected as a movie house by an independent chain and renamed Caprice Showcase Theater. It ran movies from 1992 until 1999. It is currently used as a Cabaret.

There are show listing in a 1925 Vancouver Sun for the Dominion Theater so the official opening date is not 1929.

Upon further research, the Dominion Theater was a prestigious venue actually built in 1907 by J.R. Muir and sat 1000 patrons.

The information for this photo indicates that it was taken in 2009, apparently the signage was replaced.
