On Mt Pleasant Road, just north of Davisville Ave. is the Regent Theatre. It is a rather nondescript brick building with an ugly white piece of something across the front. Sometimes the names of the movies that are showing appear on the south side of that white thing (on the side you can’t see in the photo!).
The Regent theatre today.
It was built in 1920 as the Belsize Theatre. As you can see, the front of the building hasn’t changed much after almost 90 years.
Even back then the hydro poles and wires were an eyesore!
A mid life name change and it became the Crest Theatre.
Crest Theatre – The movie ‘The 7 Year Itch’ came out in 1955.
