Bible Belt theater changes title from “Hellboy” to “Heckboy”…

The upside is that that proves the photo was from the Palace’s 1950 reopening after it’s renovation mentioned in the Overview.

You are correct. And I am a 40 year collector car hobbyist and missed that… There was a second image that included a dated description with the photo credit. I will delete and re-post it.

Unfortunately I am not computer savvy enough to do that. I copy & paste them, and you should be able to copy, right click & open them up in a new window. I found this recent batch of previously unlisted Toronto theatres on the Vintage Toronto Facebook page. I then searched the name of each one with the words “Theatre Toronto Taylor History” to bring up those specific links.

Sharing this June 2018 link because it has close-ups of some of the stone details.
