The scene was filmed at The Elgin and Winter Garden Theatres are the last surviving Edwardian theatres in the world. The theatres opened in 1913 as the flagship venue of Marcus Loew's theatre chain and were designed by Thomas W. Lamb. The Elgin Theatre on the first level is decorated with gold and marble, with a domed ceiling, and seven floors above is the Winter Garden Theatre, covered with botanical murals, garden trellises, and columns shaped like tree trunks. The upper theatre was closed in 1928 when the lower theatre was converted for talking pictures, and the upper theatre remained closed until the building was acquired by the Ontario Heritage Foundation in 1981.
