We only have four here now; two that have operated continuously (Massey Hall and Royal Alexandra), and two that were restored after serving for several decades as movie houses (Elgin/Winter Garden and Pantages). Of the four, Massey Hall was the only one built for concerts while the other three were built for vaudeville shows.

I just love the art deco style and the history of performers who have been in them.
They renamed the Masonic temple theater in Detroit the Jack White theater after Jack White paid big bucks to save it from foreclosure.
