I was in charge of the acquisition and “resuscitation” of this great theater in 1961. What a joy it was to strip away years of neglect and misuse to bring it back to life!
The Hartford Theater was a rebuild of a long-closed Dawn Theater. It was magnificent! Althought it was clearly a movie theater, there was a stage and in the early years there were live presentations of various types. One was Jay Zee, a hypnotist.
