The Kitsilano Theatre (aka The Kitsilano).
July 22, 1930 by the esteemed Vancouver photographer Leonard Frank
2114 West 4th Avenue
Built in 1921 as a Vaudeville and live theater. It had a Robert Morton Pipe Organ costing $15,000. First movie shown was "In Old Kentucky". The theater was later owned and operated by the Langer Theater Circuit in 1929 but was sold to Famous Players shortly after. It had a seating capacity of 847. The theater closed in 1955. The building still stands today and is a heritage building.
Thankfully, Vancouver’s Russian Community rescued it in 1958 from demolition and transformed it into The Russian Community Center where they still operate cultural events.
The listed films have been selected by our Programming Committee to be screened the weekend of August 14th & 15th, 2009 at the 2009 Kitsilano Film Festival
