During World War II, Vancouver was bustling with laborers who came to work in the shipyards. After the war, the theater struggled and closed in 1955. It re-opened in 1958 with a new marquee (which graces the front of the theater today). Owner, Adamson Theater Chain, renovated the interior and exterior of the theater. On July 26, 1977, Adamson Theater Chain closed the theater lamenting "a lack of wholesome films to show there." The site was used as a church and then for antique auctions. A fire, emanating from a large trash can on the stage, damaged the theater. Fortunately, the cement structure was made to be fireproof and the theater survived.
