Savoy Theatre
Here are 2 before and after photos of the Savoy Theatre. I believe the license number on the car is 1947.I saw many movies there in the 40s and 50s as did many Verdunites. It is the same building as I recognised the bricks on the side wall on Willibrord.
Also shown is the photo of the corner of 5th and Wellington where the old Fifth Ave. theatre was situated . The whole building was completely rebuilt. Also shown is the currant building where the Palace theatre was situated.I hope to eventually find pictures of all 4 old theatres of the Verdun, Park, Palace, Fifth Ave and the Savoy, all to be displayed at the SHGV. These theatres had a large impact on our lives as this was mainly before TV.

40years ago April28th,1967
Forty Years ago this Saturday ,was Opening DAy of the Montreal Worlds Fair
Expo67.................
Everyone with a product tried to capitalize on the event,......
Jello had collectibles in there products ,.etc etc
But even Dow Brewery had an interesting one as well,..a picture of every Pavillion on their Beer Caps,.........
82 of 85 caps. 
...........................kind of neat idea, I am not sure if I ever Really saw these,.as it was nearing te End of Dow Brewery's time after their product was linked toa few deaths ,and they poured a Million Bucks worth of Beer Down the Sewer,to try & regain Public Confidence,......to their credit ,they did this immediately,without prompting from a Gov't Agency,......but they Never Did Recover from the bad Press.........................but they had some nice caps......Lol.
