The address given in the 1951 Film Daily Yearbook for the Tremont Theatre is 187 Main Street, which is part of the block-long 19th century Merchant’s Exchange building, which today houses Martha’s Exchange restaurant on the first floor and law offices on the upper floors. On the history page of Martha’s (http://www.marthas-exchange.com/) there is no mention made that this building ever housed a movie theater, just various stores.
In the long list of movie theater circuits in the 1942-43 Motion Picture Almanac, there is an entry for Shea-Chain Inc. & Affiliates. Its address was 1540 Broadway in New York City. Among its theaters in New Hampshire were the Tremont Th. and the State Th. in Nashua. There was also a Tremont Th. in Claremont NH run by Sharby Theatres of Keene.
This was in the Nashua Telegraph in July 1974:
“The late Duke Ellington and his orchestra appeared and played on the stage of the old Tremont Theater, later changed to Daniel Webster Theaterâ€"now a thing of the past as the building has been torn down. I am not sure of the date that he played there, I think it was in the forties.â€
An ad for Pittsburgh Plate Glass Co. in Boxoffice of May 7, 1949 featured a picture of the entrance and marquee of the Daniel Webster Theatre. The caption named the architect of the theater as Michael J. DeAngelis.
