Cinema Loews

The Loews Cinema opened November 19, 1917, and was originally a Vaudeville theatre. It then reopened as a cinema in 1940. It closed in 1975, only to reopn as a multiplex in 1976.

It had 5 cinemas, and they were all really extravagant, and one super extravagant with a balcony and all which was the orchestra area. The Loews Cinema was located on the corner of St.Catherine and Mansfield.

The last movie to play in the old Loews cinema was Jaws, and the first movie to play was KingKong.

The cinema finally closed in 1999. It was then reopened as a Club Med World, which didn't last long. It is now some boutiques and head location of the Mansfield gym, which is in the old Cinema 1.
