The January 13, 1958 issue of Boxoffice says “[t]he Sapperton Theatre in the New Westminster area, a former Odeon operation dark for the past six months, is being demolished.” The mid-1957 closing had not been the first for the Sapperton. Boxoffice of August 11, 1956, had reported the reopening of the house, which had been closed for about a year. Odeon cited competition from television as the reason for that hiatus.
A July 20, 2012 post at the New Westminster Record web site says that the Sapperton opened on April 22, 1938.
