More Montreal Movie Theaters (Remember Those Saturday Mornings)
Remember the feeling of excitement ,when we were kids,the minute you walked in to the theatre & felt the 'cool' air & the smell of the popcorn,and as you burst through the doors,to the theatre section,you got the warning from the usher "No Running" & with that we proceeded to gallop towards the 'best seat' in the house,which of course is the one you got........lol .....and so a Saturday had begun with the adventure of whatever was on the screen.Of course Our theater of choice was generally the Savoy....where all week long you would read the poster advertising the upcoming Saturday film........those were the days.

Wasn't it beautiful how buildings were so ornate houses even underground bathrooms and now everything is flat and dull. Miss it.
I remember going on Saturdays to watch movies in a church basement of a church on Bannatyne ave it was neer church ave and they had scary movies and I would run and hide at the back till the scary part was over haha those were the days AY! then later as we got older,I think you had to be 16 to get in the theatre and we would get all dolled up to look 16 hehe got turned down a couple of times ...Suzanne ps wish I knew how to put a picture near my name
No problem Suzanne,when you are on your own personal Multiply site, just look on the righthand side of the screen,you will see a few choices you can make, click on'customise my site' then you will see the word 'Edit' pop up on all the different windows boxes on the site,select the 'edit' choice on your facebox,then just add from your own computer ,the photo you want to represent you......then at the top of the page after you made your choice,I believe you click 'done' & that should do it...Good Luck & just ask if you have any problems,we will help you figure it out.
The site offers a lot of features,but you just have to play with them until you get what you want, You can stores photos , videos, have your own blog happening too......
Good Luck & nice to see you participating,there is a lot of things to read here on the blog which archives everything from way back, of course we;'ve got pictures & videos etc etc ..... Cheers ! HF&RV - Les
ps: I posted a msg. like this one in your guestbook on your site.....:)
OK I will keep trying ..Suzanne
By the way did any of you hang around the TOP HAT on St Catherine Street back in the old days????
I think it was the Savoy that we went to on Saturdays for matinees. It was 40 cents to get in and we didn't have to be adults. Teenagers from Outerspace was one I remember.
This movie theatre wasn't too far from the joke store.
Hi the theatre we used to go to was near fifth ave was that the Savoy and we would go in the afternoon as adult I hated that I was always ask my age ,its amazing how much I've forgoten
It was no doubt the Fifth avenue theatre since it was at the corner of 5th and Wellington.

Your absolutely right ,I remember that joke store well. It too was near Buckley's Record store, from the Savoy (corner of Willibrord & Wellington) the joke store was on the next block past Steinberg's on the corner then Gregory's Restaurant (great smoked meat).etc etc ...... Cheers ! HF&RV - Les
It was the 5th avenue theatre, in the old CBC building. Cheers ! HF&RV - Les
Hi Suzanne , while the Top Hat was a little before my time in clubs I guess, I did have this old photo on my computer from years ago.
