Looking northeast towards the corner of Queen St E and Bertmount Ave, in the Leslieville neighbourhood of Toronto.
The archive photo shows the Joy Theatre at 1130 Queen St E. On the marquee, “Tarzan and the Leopard Woman,” starring Johnny Weissmuller, Brenda Joyce and Johnny Sheffield, was playing. The theatre opened in the late 1930s and was initially known as the Rex.
Today, the building is home to Dave’s Hot Chicken.
