If anyone has any stories about going to/ working at this threatre in its adult days, I would love to hear them. I am chronicling the histories of adult theatres in the US. Please contact me at Thanks!

In the 1970’s when it was the “Fine Arts” they used to play some pretty good XXX rated movies in there. It was in a perfect spot for adult entertainment because it was fairly hidden on a side street off the downtown area. They occasionally snuck in some really hard core porn but not too often because they were afraid of being raided by the police. I was there a few times and the theater was always packed. Have to admit, it was very well maintained and always kept in great shape for a porn theater. I havn’t been there since it changed back to its original name and returned to stage entertainment.

This is what the Larcom Theater looks like.

I was in the Larcom last Saturday morning with the THSA group. The theatre looked great — the Le Grand David company deserves much credit for the high level of maintenance of their two theatres in Beverly.

The architect of the Larcom Theatre was George Swan. Opening night was October 28, 1912 with the film “Count of Monte Cristo” plus a concert on stage.
