Savoy Theatre
Here is an architects drawing of the Savoy Theatre that was published in the Guardian on the 15th of October 1937. The construction following shortly after. The Fifth Avenue theatre was also constructed in 1937. I have added the photo of the finished Savoy theatre so as to compare with the drawing.

Those Guardians are a gold mine of information and I spend hours looking for subjects that I think may be of interest to MVC members. There are many more to follow.

My memories of the Savoy Theater and the Fifth Avenue Theater are when I was there and the memories of when I said I was there and I wasn’t. I remember going to see the coronation of Queen Elizabeth in the early 50’s but I don’t remember which theater it was.

I always remember the Savoy from the marquee down - I didn't realize what it looked like above. It's like a castle kind of thing - a neat building
Hi. My memory of the Coronation was that it was shown at the 5th Ave. Ron.
Hi 1 carver I thought it was 5th avenue but I wasn't sure. Thanks Pauline
Guy, What is the earliest copy of the Guardian at the historical archives in Verdun? Are visitors allowed to view them or are they only available to staff and members?....Diane
Diane,
The Guardians at the SHGV are from the beginning of the 30s to the early 80s.
Anyone can view them. If you wish, I can be present if i''m available but advise me ahead of time.

I remember going with my class from St. Willibrord school to see The Ten Commandments at the Savoy. The nuns were our escorts. I loved the movies and spent many a time there creating my own fantsy world.
And yes, Guy, merci, for the memories.
