The Hollywood Theatre was a movie theatre at 1519 Yonge Street in Toronto, Ontario.[1][2] It opened in 1930 and was located on the east side of Yonge Street, north of St. Clair Avenue.[3]

History

The Hollywood Theatre was the first cinema in Toronto specifically built to show talking pictures – movies with sound. It was designed by architect Herbert George Duerr, who designed it with a Moorish-style façade. As built, it contained 1,321 seats.

The building was renovated multiple times, adding a second auditorium, seating 800 patrons, in 1946.[1] According to author Doug Taylor, it became the first cinema in Canada to have more than one auditorium.

The venue was operated by the Famous Players chain.[4] In 1948, the Odeon Theatres chain built the Odeon Hyland cinema at 1501 Yonge Street, just south of the Hollywood Theatre.[2]

In 1964, the film Mary Poppins played at the theatre for 44 weeks.[5] 500,000 tickets were sold.

Famous Players closed the theatre in February 1999, and it was demolished later in 1999.[1]
