The MGM Theatre Photograph and Report form for the Maplewood Theatre in Malden has an exterior photo dated April 1941. Th entrance was within a one-story commercial block. It had a bright 2-sided triangular marquee with Maplewood at the top in neon letters. Below were 3 lines of black letters on a white background. The attraction posted was Ginger Rogers in “Kitty Foyle”. The Report states tht the Maplewood has been showing MGM films for over 3 years; that it was built about 1937, is in Good condition and has 661 seats. The type of patronage was described as “neighborhood”. The Maplewood was listed in the 1942-43 edition of the Motion Picture Almanac as part of the Middlesex Amusement Co. circuit (Ramsdell brothers).
