We used to go to the Vogue on Saturday afternoon in the mid 60's and for 75 cents see 2 or 3 movies. It was dark when we'd get out. can't remember one movie I saw there, but I remember going.

I used to take the bus there with some friends on Saturday for the matinee - .25 cents and likewise cant remember a single movie.
ReplyDeleteI used to like the System Theatre on St Catherine's just east of Morgan's Department Store. Three movies for 35 cents. The terminal turnaround loop track for the Ontario Avenue #5 streetcar was right behind the movie theatre. It was great going to the System Theatre on a nasty winter day.
ReplyDeleteYou know you are getting old when one can remember when yhe Vogue theatre was built and when it was torn down. I remember playing in the hole that was to become the seating area . I grew up on Rozel street not far from the Vogue. I remember when we used to tease the Manager of the theatre. When he died the write up mentioned that he was a war hero. One never knows.
