The Capital and Palace theatres were replaced by the Odeons on King at Mary.
It's nice to see the old pictures. I remember going to many of those theatres as a kid. The Palace was huge. It had 1300 more seats than Hamilton Place. The lobby was very ornate as was the actual theatre.
The Delta theatre at the Delta was another huge theatre that I remember going to and I do remember Starvin Marvins at that location.
There was a theatre on King just East of Sanford which I think was called the Strand which was fairly large and ornate.
Then there was the Cinema, the Avon and the Towne.
There was also a theatre on James N, South of Wilson which still exists and is no longer used. I don't know the name but it was used as a dinner theatre during the 70's and 80's.
