The E.M. Loew's Theater was part of the E.M. Loew's chain out of Boston and was designed by Thomas Lamb. The theater was also known as the Majestic Theater. The theatre was located on the second floor of a building and the lobby on the first floor.

Like many of Hartford's old movie palaces, it has been demolished.

It was at 174 Asylum Street.

To add to Mr. Katz's and Mr. Rossetti's descripion of this theater, the construction was unique in that both the main entrance and backstage faced Asylum St. This meant, not only did one have to go upstairs, but they also had to walk the total length of the theater in order to enter the auditorium. Of course, the balcony was another flight of stairs.

E.M. Loew's was always spelled with an apostrophe, not as "Loews."

In the "Images of America" book Hartford, Volume II, on page 52, appears a 1960 photo of the theatre along with the nearby Allyn. Hard to read what was on the marquee at the time. The E.M. Loew's would be be razed in 1970, along with its neighbor the Allyn, in preparation for the construction of the huge Hartford Civic Center.
