Apollo Theatre

I was in this area last week, cycling through from Quincy to the very tip of Hull. The whole 6-7 miles of this hook is a current sleepy resort town, but bustling during the summer. I was wondering why I never saw even a small theater here as one is deserving of one here. They have a small boardwalk, shops, neighborhoods, sprawl and nice restaurants. They definitely need a single or twin theater soon.

This website has a watercolor painting of the Apollo Theater (near the bottom of the page). In case the link expires, the following text accompanies the painting:

"APOLLO THEATER

Meet me at the Apollo to catch the latest flick, be it a “silent” or a “talkie”. A popular pastime of many film-lovers in 1920 became an important night out and a chance to view Hollywood’s biggest stars; Bette Davis, Charlie Chaplin, Greta Garbo and Jimmy Stewart, among a few. The 600 seat Apollo, owned and operated by the Anastos family, opened in 1918 showing feature movies, newsreels and short subjects. Silent film action was enhanced by an accomplished pianist, Hull’s own Eva Leonard and movie-goers would purchase snacks at Anastos Spa before the show. The 600 seat Apollo delighted thousands of Hull residents and summer guests until 1960, when it closed its doors. Part of the building collapsed in the 1980’s and in 2005 the grand old theater was renovated for condos and retail space".

Address should be changed to 6 Bay Street.
