The Film Daily Yearbook’s 1941 and 1943 list a Roosevelt Theatre with 600 seats for Valley Falls. In the 1950 edition of F.D.Y. the listing gives a Lincoln Theatre with 590 seats. Obviously the same theatre and looks like the only theatre in town. No address is given.
I asked my mother again if she was sure that this theater was known a the Roosevelt Theater when she was a child.
She remembers it distinctly because my grandmother would go to watch the Portuguese movies there. My grandmother is 100% Portugeuse as well as my mother.
My mother attended BF Norton school in the late 40’s and walked pass this theater every day.
She is looking for pictures and believes she does possess one.
There is a bank at that location.
My mother was born in Valley Falls in 1932 and she went to that theater as a little girl. However, it was known as the Roosevelt Theater in those days.
There is also a listing for a Lincoln Theatre on Broad Street in Valley Falls. Could it be the same as this theatre?
