Metro Theatre, Art Deco movie theater on Bloor Street, Toronto, Canada
The Metro Theatre features two screening rooms with total seating for 606 people, alongside architectural elements typical of 1930s entertainment venues.
Architects Kaplan and Sprachman designed this theater in 1938 during a period of extensive cinema construction throughout Toronto.
The venue transformed from showing second-run films in 1939 to presenting adult films in 1976, reflecting shifts in neighborhood entertainment preferences.
The theater operated daily for ten hours until 2013, when it closed and the building was converted into commercial spaces including a climbing gym.
The entrance displayed autographed photographs of adult film performers and the theater appeared in multiple music videos and independent films.
