I am still waiting on Trevor Gross to reply to my email to him. Love to collate as much info as possible. I am the original grandson of Bill Smith. I remember very clearly going to Saturday matinee and helping out albeit I was very young

I also remember Trevor Gross very well because he was the general hand that assisted in all things.

The theatre was very large. Sometimes in the matinee, we had to seat patrons on the floor as there was no seating capacity

The theatre had approx 1000 seats which is huge by today’s standards.
