Was this theatre ever known as the Trans-Lux in the 1950s? If not, what else was the Trans-Lux? It was kind of a racy art house, judging from newspaper ads I remember from that time.
It was just a few hundred feet away from Symphony Hall. It also housed a small recital-hall sized little theatre called the “Fine Arts” and which was one of Boston’s best art/repertory houses in the 1960s, featuring many films by Fellini, Bergman, Antonioni, Truffaut, Visconti…generally in double-bill revivals.
