This is a circa 1930 photo of the Kitsilano Theater.
Built in 1921 as a Vaudeville and live theater. It had a Robert Morton Pipe Organ costing $15,000. First movie shown was “In Old Kentucky”. The theater was later owned and operated by the Langer Theater Circuit in 1929 but was sold to Famous Players shortly after. It had a seating capacity of 847. The theater closed in 1955. The building still stands today and is a heritage building.
Here is a recent photo of the building:
