I have a letter written to my husband’s grandfather by his brother-in-law, Clement Doran, and he was in a show at the Poli’s Byon Theather in New Haven Ct., April 22, 1909. Does anyone have any ideas about where I might find out the name of the show or any write-up/pictures?

The Poli in New Haven was the flagship for Loew’s New England theaters and the regional offices were in the Poli Building. Harry Shaw was regional manager in the 1950'and Morris Rosenthal was manager of the Poli until he retired in 1958. Sid Klepper was the manager after Rosenthal.

Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland visited the theater for an onstage performance on 10 August 1939.

Max Brunswick, whom ushered there as a high school kid, cites the house as seating 3200.

A Poli Theater in New Haven had a Moller theater organ opus 2319 installed in 1917.
