This page from the Alberta Online Encyclopedia mentions the Odeon Theatre and gives its address as 2101 33 Avenue SW. I’ve been unable to pin down the period of the name change (or even the original source of the name change) from Marda to Odeon, so I’m not sure if this was the same Odeon Theatre that hosted Calgary’s road show run of “The Sound of Music” which is listed at 03.31.1965 on this Cinema Treasures news post.
This opened on January 18th, 1952 and reopened as Odeon on March 26th, 1964. 2 cinemas in 1975 and closed in 1988. 1964 opening ad uploaded in the photo section.
Here’s a link to a photo of the theatre. I recall seeing a film or 2 there back in the 80’s. Link to Marda Theatre
