Patricia Theatre

British Columbia


Canada's oldest continually operating movie house, this 1928 landmark (the second edition of an original constructed in 1913) still serves up first-run, art house and sometimes vintage flicks in its old-school, mural-painted auditorium. Even if there's no show on, it's worth wandering in for a chat with the owner about its history, which includes silent movies and vaudeville performances.
