This Day In History - 14 August 2013
THIS DAY IN HISTORY: AUGUST 14, 1920
Many Vancouverites still lament the loss of the Strand Theatre, a lovely
venue once located at 610 West Georgia, behind the Birks Building. Both were
torn down in 1973-74 to make way for the Scotia Tower ,
sparking a huge public outcry.
Tearing down
the ornate 2,000-seat cinema would have been unthinkable when "Canada 's finest
and most modern theatre" opened 93
years ago as the Allen, "The Theatre Beautiful'
The Allen
theatre chain started off with a single screen in Brantford , Ont., in 1907, and had expanded to 58 theatres by 1920.
"Few Vancouver people are probably aware that Allen Theatre Enterprises are the largest operators of
motion picture houses in the entire world," boasted a Vancouver Sun feature on the new theatre.
Bernard Allen and his sons, Jule and Jay J., credited their success to "adopting a
principle that none but the cleanest motion pictures must be shown in their
houses, and that the patron must be pleased no matter the trouble or expense.”
To this end,
the Vancouver Allen was designed by "the best-known theatre architect in
the world, "C. Howard Crane. Crane's
design incorporated "the largest marquee ever built for any theatre
in North America " to "protect the crowds from inclement weather:' Inside, the
Aliens installed "probably the finest ventilating system in the entire
world" to keep patrons comfortable.
The Allen
Theatre at Georgia and
Seymour opened in 1920. It later became the
Strand theatre, and was torn down in
1974.
The luxurious interior included marble stairs, leather seats
of" unusual width, carpets "into which one's feet sink," a
"daintily treated" ladies "retiring room" and a
"gentlemen's smoking room." Movies were silent at the time, so the
Allen had its own 15-piece orchestra led by conductor/violinist Samuel Brail.
When he had time, theatre manager Oral D. Cloakey would join in on
"marimba phone."
The Allens also took great pride in their ads, which were quite elegant. The theatre opened
with Norma Talmadge in Yes or No, which
they promoted with a striking ad featuring white lettering against a
black background. The beautiful Talmadge
stood in flapper garb on the side.
Unfortunately,
the Aliens' rapid expansion backfired, and the chain went bankrupt in 1923.
Archrival Famous Players bought the chain
and renamed the Allen the Strand , which it remained until it was torn down
in December 1973.

THIS DAY IN HISTORY: AUGUST 2, 1939
Vancouver-born
actress Yvonne De Carlo is shown circa the late 1940s, early '50s. Hyped as `the most beautiful girl in the world,' she was one of |
Yvonne De Carlo, born Peggy Middleton,
works on the set of the 1952 movie
Scarlet Angel. De Carlo died in 2007.
|
Seventy-four years ago, Vancouver Sun writer Alan
Morley devoted his "Screenings and Reel Dust" column to a local girl
trying to break into the entertainment
biz — Yvonne De Carlo.
"Yvonne
is a Vancouver-born girl,''wrote Morley. "She is 18, dark, possesses a
tempestuous brunette beauty and a good figure, and to date her nearest approach
to starring has been a week's engagement opposite a boxing kangaroo.
"The kangaroo, says Yvonne, was
a nice chap to work with, and — barring one attempt to chew off her lovely dark
hair — a perfect gentleman."
Her gig with the boxing kangaroo was at the Beacon
theatre on Hastings .
The kangaroo's owner, Lindsay Fabro, came to town for a weeklong engagement,
and needed a "good-looking girl to play opposite his educated Australian
bopper."He selected De Carlo, who had previously been among the chorus
girls at the Palomar Ballroom.
Morley said that De Carlo's parents were "old-time
French circus people" who had taken her to Hollywood when she was 13. A couple of years
later, she had come back to Vancouver , where she
lived with her aunt in the West End and
attended King Edward high school.
What Morley didn't know was that most people in Vancouver knew her as
Peggy Middleton — Yvonne was her
middle name, De Carlo was her
mother's maiden name. Her dad left the family when she was three, and her
mother scraped by, constantly moving with her daughter. Mom had dreamed of
being a dancer, and had high hopes for her beautiful young daughter, who studied with local teacher June Roper.
Mom took Yvonne to Hollywood
a couple of times before finally settling there for good in 1941. She soon
signed a contract with Paramount
and paid her dues with bit parts in 23 movies before landing a starring role in
Salome, Where She Danced.
Her exotic beauty and voluptuous
figure led a Hollywood studio to hype her as
"the most beautiful girl in the world." She went on to become one of
Hollywood's leading sex symbols, dating Howard Hughes, Ali Khan (Rita
Hayworth's ex), and the Shah of Iran's brother.
Today, she is mostly remembered as
Lily Munster in the 1960s TV show The
Munsters. But in the 1950s, she was an
A-list movie star who appeared in Cecil
B. DeMille's production of The Ten Commandments opposite Charlton Heston. She
died in 2007 at the age of 84.
