Famous Players opened the Belle Theatre in 1935. Seating was listed at 900. The theatre closed in 1970. The former theatre was demolished and new retail space now occupies the site.

The Belle Theatre in Belleville, Ontario was built by a Mr. McCarthy who had another theatre in Belleville, named after him, the McCarthy Theatre. In the late 20’s, the Belle was doing very well so Famous Players tried to get Mr. McCarthy to become a partner of theirs and split the profits in equal shares!! Mr. McCarthy refused this and sold this theatre to Famous Players. I believe the McCarthy became an early unit of Twentieth Century Theatres (a Famous Players partner)!!
