To add a bit more information, The Majestic was a single screen theater in the 1960s and demolished in 1972. As a child, I lived in Algoma from 1964 through 1970, and my first movie going experience was seeing “Goldfinger” at The Majestic in October 1965 (I was 5 years old); this meant “Goldfinger” was exhibited nearly a year after it’s initial release. I recently spent several hours in the Algoma public library reviewing the microfiche of the local weekly paper, specifically looking for the ads for the Majestic. They exhibited each film for 1 week, with only weekend showings and the ticket prices were 35 cents for kids and 50 cents for adults. Mostly they showed just a single feature – with an occasional double feature. Rather oddly, the ads often declared there would not be a Friday showing.
