Patricia Theatre

In 1928 two houses at the corner of Marine and Ash were removed to building the Patricia Theatre. This is the second building of the oldest operating movie theatre business in BC.

Founded by Bobby Scanlon, the first Patricia Theatre was located next to the Rodmay Hotel. It was a tall, narrow structure that shook in the wind. Everyone loved the silent movies and happily put up with the seating the occasional fluttering of bats.
