The Blue Danube
Fred Robertson, a retailer from Almonte, was the Mayfair's original owner. The Mayfair opened on 5 December 1932 with its showings of "The Blue Danube". Adult admission prices were 15 cents for matinees, 25 cents for evening performances, with each child admitted for ten and 15 cents respectively. After "The Blue Danube" completed a three-day run, the Mayfair presented its first double bill with "Bring 'Em Back Alive" and "X Marks the Spot". At the outset, the theatre's sound system was supplied by Northern Electric while Montreal-based Canadian Theatre Supply provided the projection and stage equipment.
