Park Theatre (Vancouver)
The Park Theatre is a neighbourhood movie house on Cambie Street in Vancouver, British Columbia. Opened in 1941, it has passed through several owners, including Odeon Theatres, Famous Players and Alliance Atlantis Cinemas, and in 2005 was renovated and became part of the Festival Cinemas chain. It was acquired by Cineplex Entertainment in 2013 after the Festival chain ceased operations.
==History==
The Park was built in 1940〔(evalu8.org: Park Theatre 2007 update ) Retrieved on 2008-06-10.〕〔(Cinema Treasures: Park Theatre ) Retrieved on 2008-06-10.〕 by the architectural firm Kaplan & Sprachman,〔(Cinema Tour: Park Theatre ) Retrieved on 2008-06-10.〕 who designed over three hundred cinemas between the 1920s and 1960s,〔(Archives Canada ) Retrieved on 2008-06-10.〕 including the Vogue in Vancouver〔(Cinema Treasures: Vogue Theatre ) Retrieved on 2008-06-10.〕〔(The Canadian Encyclopedia: Theatre Design to 1950 ) Retrieved on 2008-06-10.〕 and the Uptown in Toronto.〔 The Park opened on August 4, 1941〔 and was originally run by Odeon Theatres.〔(Movie-theatre.org: January 6, 1950 movie listings ) Retrieved on 2008-06-10.〕
In 1984, Odeon Theatres became Cineplex Odeon Corporation,〔(Cinema Treasures: Brossard 7 ) Retrieved on 2008-06-10.〕 and in 1990 Cineplex Odeon decided not to renew the Park's lease.〔Smith, Charlie. ("Big firms drop old theatres" ), ''The Georgia Straight'' (March 10, 2005). Retrieved on 2008-06-10.〕 The theatre was taken over by Leonard Schein's Festival Cinemas, which at various times also has run the Ridge, the Plaza, the Varsity, the Starlight, the Vancouver East and Fifth Avenue Cinemas.〔〔(Festival Cinemas ) Retrieved on 2008-06-10.〕
Alliance Atlantis bought Schein's company in 1998, and he remained in management there until 2001,〔 when he decided to get out of the movie business. The Park was run by a partnership of Alliance and Famous Players〔Stewart, Monte. ("Classic movie fan turns into screen saver" ), ''Business Edge'' (September 6, 2005). Retrieved on 2008-06-11.〕 for a few years, but they decided not to renew its lease in 2005.〔 Schein, who was by then putting his efforts into projects such as the Canadian Cancer Society, Friends of Larry Campbell and Doctors Without Borders,〔〔Woolley, Pieta. ("Schein-y new Park Theatre packing them in" ), ''The Georgia Straight'' (June 2, 2005). Retrieved on 2008-06-11.〕 hadn't been planning to get back into the movie business.〔 However, phone calls from the building's landlord and local business owners and residents convinced him to lease the theatre and reopen it.〔〔
