TORONTO'S FASCINATING MOVIE THEATRES

The "Alhambra" theatre on the north side of Bloor Street, just west of Bathurst.

Toronto historian Mike Filey never fails to impress me with his tales about this great city's past.

In today's Toronto Sun he writes briefly on hogtown's long-gone, and often long-forgotten, movie theatres. Specifically his piece focusses on Toronto history buff Doug Taylor's new book “Toronto Theatres and the Golden Age of the Silver Screen”. Published by History Press which is based in Charleston, South Carolina, this book needs to be on my bookshelf. I will seek out a copy....
