 The Mayfair cancelled a planned showing of "Videodrome" in April 1983 when police threatened the theatre with obscenity charges.A handful of citizens, including Maude Barlow, objected to the violent content of the film which was approved by the Ontario Board of Censors and was previously shown without incident in Nepean, Ontario.Director Michael Rubbo rented the theatre for three days in early 1986 to conduct a "four-waller" promotion for his film "The Peanut Butter Solution" which had fared poorly in the English Canadian market.
