The Strand Theatre has been recently renovated. It has been around since at least the early-1960’s.

The “Related Websites” link above is for the Strand Theater in Shreveport, LA.
So it is. How about this one:

That works. Chain should be Independent.
This b/w photo will give you an idea what the Strand looks like.
In 1990 the Strand is listed as a single screen with 525 seats.

Was there a Norfolk Theatre on Norfolk Street? I have a postcard showing Norfolk Street from the corner of Robinson/Argyle Street. The theater may be closed. There are no letters on the marquee, only the name Norfolk. A Woolworth’s store is shown (replaced by Leon’s) on one corner, with the Norfolk beyond that. The other corner shows Budds, but in an older building than in the street view. The same buildings beside Budds still exist in the view, as well. It looks like the theater may have been across from an Eaton’s catalogue store.
TivFan, The Norolk Theatre was open in the mid-1930’s and continued as a movie theatre until the mid-1950’s. In 1965 it reopened as a live venue for the the Simco Little Theatre.
That is what the Rivest List indicates.Looking at the Google street view of the area, there does not seem to be any building that really looks like a theatre, except for an Odd Fellows Hall, but that is on Robinson. The Simcoe Little Theater apparently moved out as their website has a different address for their current facility.
