Loew's State Theatre

It was just a few hundred feet away from Symphony Hall. It also housed a small recital-hall sized little theatre called the “Fine Arts” and which was one of Boston’s best art/repertory houses in the 1960s, featuring many films by Fellini, Bergman, Antonioni, Truffaut, Visconti…generally in double-bill revivals.

As a teenager in the fifties, I only got to go into the Loews State once but I was very impressed. I wanted to hear the organ but it was not played at that time. What a waste. Now there is a concrete blockhouse of condos or offices in that location if I am not mistaken.
