The Scenic is listed in the 1942-43 edition of the Motion Picture Almanac as part of the Interstate Theatre Corp. of Boston. Interstate also ran the Colonial (a.k.a. State) Theatre in Rochester.
Location is North Main Street. Remembering the Scenic Theatre
I believe Interstate Theaters out of Boston operated the Scenic for many years. in the 50's60’s & 70’s.
A Wurlitzer organ, opus 1682, was installed in this theater on 7/27/1927.
Here is a 1930 article that gives the owner of the Scenic Theater as Fred Couture. It also mentions a Leavitt Theater on South Main st.
A circa-1939 postcard view of the Scenic can be seen here.
