IN 1944-45, when I was 9-10 years old, my Dad took me to the Academy. And there began my life-long love affair with Ingrid Bergman. The movie was For Whom The Bell Tolls. My children have asked what it was like to grow up in Fall River. The Academy, The Empire Theater, The Durfee theater were all my haunts. I’d be interested in the history of these theaters, particularly the Academy. What kind of fare did they offer citizens before motion pictures came in? How many balconies were there? What was the seating capacity? Any details would be appreciated. Reach me at
Thank you,
