I grew up in Norwood and the Southern Theater was named such because it was in South Norwood or ‘the flats’ as it was fondly referred to by citizens. So, you were right, Ron. When I went there as a kid in the 1950s, it was getting kind of run down but I recall fondly being jammed in there on Saturdays (all day) watching some wonderful films over and over with every kid in that part of town.
And, yes, Ron, Ken’s pic is of the Norwood Theater (main theater in town square) not the Southern.
