  • <p>Poli’s Theatre on Church Street in New Haven. The photographer was Herbert Randall, and it appears to be the source of the theatre’s postcard image, also seen here. The view is looking at the east side of Church Street between Crown and George Streets at Poli’s Building which housed the new Poli’s Theatre, also known as Poli’s Palace Theatre. The date of this image is noted as circa 1910-1920.</p>
            
              <p>Poli’s old theatre was across the street, known as Poli’s Wonderland Theatre, a vaudeville venue and wax museum which he started in 1893. That structure was previously St. Mary’s Hall, and had apparently been used as a church up until 1878.</p>
