Here’s a 1948 trade article on the tranformation of the Tremont into the Daniel Webster: boxofficemagazine

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.

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.”

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.

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.
