The theater always had something for the kids Sat Sun or summer kid show even 13 chapter film run for thirteen week, we even had special tray we place in on concession stand for just the kids that is nickel candy for kid shows, the only reason this theater closed was owner a Bank they took it all down
I was the manager of the RANDOLPH during the early sixties all color photos from my collect was there for almost three year, the theater had a large parking lot, and did very well playing off of Brockton, so many times it played films long before any Boston sub. theater did, there was an upstair apt. nice for me on late nights or snow, very wonderful times I am on roof of one photo enjoying the 4th of July parade
Sorry no idea on booking except CENTURY 21 at that time was first run and exclusive so you can bet was another important film the four power houses were in this order COPPER, CENTURY 21, CHERRY CHREEK and CONTINENTAL those were the days fun times sneaks, showmanship sad we do not have more photos of this wonderful theater
