You can see in the photo i posted above, of the fly tower, just how small the stage would have been for live shows.
Here is a photo of the dressing room block now used as Odeon offices. http://www.flickr.com/photos/curtians/2251054388/
Thats very interesting that the two smaller screens have been ‘mothballed’ -does this spell the end of cinema in this building. What with the projector and screen being removed etc etc.
Live theatre returns to The Carlton for the first time since the late 1920s early 30s.

I love the way they have kept the same logo here for must be nearly 25 years now!
What a charming name- Filmarte.
I wonder if they will operate the original plan of black and white movies to complement ‘Brief Encounter’ the stage show.

Class.
Jez this place was depressing. The new AMC across the road will be warmly welcomed being as the Paramount is not much loved in Toronto.
I prefer the Grand looking like this , without that hideous extension now sitting to its left
Here it is again.
