The MGM Theatre Photograph and Report form for the Central Square Theatre in East Boston has an exterior photo dated March 1941. The theatre entrance was at the left end of the building, and it appears that one walked in from the street and then turned right to face the screen. There is a rectangular marquee with the theatre’s name in big letters on the front and sides, but no room to post attractions. Above the marquee is a vertical blade sign. The entrance has 3 double doors; to its left is a narrow poster case; to its right are 2 wide poster cases and a fire exit door from the rear of the auditorium. The Report states that the theatre has been playing MGM product for over 10 years; that it was built about 1930; is in Good condition and has 1,100 seats.
In a 1918 street directory, the Central Square Theatre in East Boston is listed at 36 Bennington Street, between Central Square and Marion Street.
