Architect was John Edmund Kelley of Boston. Opened October 12, 1928 with Wings. The theatre, silent at opening, was equipped with Vitaphone and Movietone sound within four months. The final movies listed were in 1962. The venue ended its entertainment life as the Silhouette Ballroom with dancing and live music in 1967. Demolished in 1969 as part of an urban development plan to provide additional parking.
Here is an item from the January 3, 1928, issue of The Film Daily:
Are there any pictures of the Rialto in Leominster,Mass. on this site?
The Plymouth in Leominster was listed as being operated by the Peter D. Latchis theater circuit of Brattleboro VT in the 1942-43 Motion Picture Almanac. Latchis also ran the Rialto Theatre in Leominster at that time.
The MGM Theatre Photograph and Report form for the Metropolitan Theater in Leominster lists the Plymouth Theatre there as a competing theater. But the MGM agent did not fill out a seperate form for the Plymouth; this was in April 1941,
