Reminiscence of the Bellevue Theatre by Lester C. Boyd as noted in the Providence Journal of September 26, 1985:
“Speaking of Central Falls, some readers may recall that a few weeks ago I reminisced in this space about the Bellevue Theater. The other day Norman Shorrock, who was one of the gang that used to walk from Saylesville to Central Falls on Saturday afternoons to go to the Bellevue, dropped in the office to remind me that our name for the theater was ‘The Scratch House,’ the implication being that you were likely to encounter creatures that would set you to scratching. I wouldn’t be surprised if that were true.”
This theatre was part of the September 1923 6th Paramount Week. In this advertisement from the (Providence) Evening Tribune, September 1, 1923, we see a fascinating list of Rhode Island area theatres, many long-gone and long-forgoten, or even unheard of, as well as what they were showing during that week. The Esmond Theatre (existence previously unknown to me) would show The Old Homestead with Theodore Roberts. CLICK HERE and move text to see all theatres.
Hmmmm. Possible indeed. There was a Scenic, dating back to the early silent era, at Oakland Beach in Warwick, RI, later known as the Midway, q.v. But it didn’t deign to call itself a temple, and it was most likely an independent house. The building still exists.
