I spent many a Sunday with my date at the Central Theater on Oak St.
The owner, ValJean was a good friend of my father’s. I loved it when ValJean would wait for a passionate love scene to be on, and he would walk up and down the aisles spraying deoderizer. ValJean was also a musician and had his own orchestra when he was younger.
The Victoria Theater was across the street from the Palace or Broadway Theaters. My father was a well-known musician and owned a store/school on Newbury St. and he used to provide the sound effects for the silent movies at the Victoria back in the 1920’s and 1930’s.
to cgk – the theater you refer to down the street from Tripoli bakery was the Capitol theater and that was on Common St.
