The Easton Theatre was a small cinema on the second floor of a wood-frame commercial building. The entrance was in the left side of the facade, with a small vertical sign above. It operated from about 1950 into the 1960’s. The space today has been divided into offices.

The Theatre Historical Society on-line archive has the MGM Theatre Report for the Easton Theatre; it’s Card # 232. But no one filled it out, so there is no info. There is an undated exterior photo. My experience with these cards is that those which have no info and only a photo were mostly made in the 1946- 1950 period. The photo shows a 2-story wood-frame commercial building with the theater entrance at left, and Kelley’s Store at right. There is a small verticl sign over the theater entrance which says “Easton”. Today, the former theater entrance leads to the offices upstairs. Kelley’s was occupied from about 1990 to 2014 by Pires Hardware. The store window frames look exactly the same today as in the MGM photo.
In a forum on the site Eastonmass.com someone wrote in Oct 2004 that there was a movie theater where Pires Hardware is now. Someone responded that he/she saw “The Birds” there for .25 cents, and that movies there were preceeded by a cartoon. I believe that Hitchcock’s movie “The Birds” came out in the early-1960s.
