Hi, Finnegan9 –

Surely that was the Rex on Somerset & Lebreton – ? We lived further west (Elmdale)when I was a kid, but I remember going to the Rex a few times for golden oldies like MGM B-musicals on the bottom half of double bills.

The Rialto I remember well from when we lived nearby and then later, when I was at Carleton (old campus on First Avenue) – great triple bills and yes, it was sort of crummy, but the price was right.

Does anyone remember the opening feature? I’m pretty sure it was ‘Singin’ in the Rain' and I spent most of that summer going to see it.
