Ah, Broadway was the main street name! And I think he called it “Marget’s Strand.” I know that earlier, before Prohibition, he must have run a tavern also with his name, because I recall as a kid seeing photos of him in front of the swinging doors. howard.
Philip J. Marget, my grandfather, owned the Strand Theater in the 1920-40’s as I recall.I recall coming to the movie-house on Saturdays, to watch westerns. He lived on a hill in the city, i have forgotten the name, and also owned a block of stores on that same Main Street.He moved out of Chelsea to Brookline in the late 1920’s.
