Lost Memory, you submit such gorgeous pictures on site. As a member, you are one of the most valuable resources that CT has. So it pains me to disagree with the article that you submitted. But I must, unfortunately. That information is incorrect.
As Loralei says above, the Granville Theatre was a seven screen house that was built in the 800 block to replace the Coronet Twin & the Odeon Theatres. It didn’t open until 1987. My family has lived in Vancouver for generations & this definitely is an indisputable fact.
There is not one theatre in the city that was built in the late 20s that is in operation as a movie house today. The Hollywood dates from the 30s. But that’s the only one that I’m aware of.
