DavidZornig commented about Tally Ho Theatre on May 6, 2019 at 5:41 pm

In the Overview it states being built “in the heart of "hunt country”.
One of the definitions of Tally Ho is: a huntsman’s cry to the hounds on sighting a fox.

The upside is that that proves the photo was from the Palace’s 1950 reopening after it’s renovation mentioned in the Overview.

You are correct. And I am a 40 year collector car hobbyist and missed that… There was a second image that included a dated description with the photo credit. I will delete and re-post it.

Unfortunately I am not computer savvy enough to do that. I copy & paste them, and you should be able to copy, right click & open them up in a new window. I found this recent batch of previously unlisted Toronto theatres on the Vintage Toronto Facebook page. I then searched the name of each one with the words “Theatre Toronto Taylor History” to bring up those specific links.

Sharing this June 2018 link because it has close-ups of some of the stone details.
