Photos of the Varsity Theatre circa 1942; poster for Charlie Chan in "Castle in the Desert" is visible

Above: the original Varsity Theatre shortly before the 1938 opening of the new Varsity Theatre. This building was on University, around the corner from the 1938 and current Varsity Theatre. The two posters in the showcases are "Racing Lady" (RKO) and "Devil's Playground" (Columbia), both released in 1937.
