An aside, the reason the building was being demolished was a court ruling brought about by a suit from a handicapped rights group forcing all theaters in Toronto to be handicapped accessible. This building, built in the 1920's along with a few other other magnificent historical theatres, could not be economically upgraded, so it was to be torn down and rebuilt. We're losing some beautiful theatres here.
The crime is, Famous Players Cinemas had long agreed not to run movies in this and the other old theaters that were not available at other newer theaters that are accessible. Wasn't good enough for the activists, though. They insisted they ALL had to converted and to heck with the history.
Thanks for clarifying.
