Now some sort of live music venue run by Odeum Entertainment.
The Royal theatre closed in 1960 and reopened as “the Blockhouse restaurant” then “ Anthony’s Dining Hall”. It is between 35th Street and Long Breanch Ave in the former Long Branch. Those of us who were raised there and went through school in the area still refer to it as Long Branch, New Toronto and Mimico area. Great memories wih Royal. Went when it was $.10 admission fee back in the 50’s
The Moose Lodge is at 3751 Lake Shore Boulevard West, just west of the Eastwood Park Hotel. The Royal Theater was at 3595 Lake Shore Boulevard West. The theater was closed for a number of years (five or six I think) and reopened as Anthony’s Dining Hall.
I think the Allied theatre chain were made up of independent owners that were against bigger guys like Odeon and Famous Players. I don’t know what happen to them either.
Also, there hasn’t been a Long Branch Ontario since 1967….was merged in to Etobicoke which is now part of Toronto
That’s interesting. I was always told that the current “Moose Lodge” was the former Royal theatre, which definately looks like a theatre at the side and the back of the building which sits on the corner.
