I’ve seen a movie here while on vacation in Florida. I highly recommend a visit to this treasure.
Two modern photos can be found on the Library of Congress website.
Here is the homepage for the Trinity Square Repertory Theater: http://www.trinityrep.com/
If you click on “about us” and then “Lederer Theater” you’ll find the entire history of the theater.
I did some research on the state register of historic places. Not many theaters listed, although some are in downtown zones designated as state historic districts. The Brook, however, has its own listing. View link
See page 2. Hopefully this means that the state will do all it can to assure proper preservation.

According to a Maine tourism website, this is a 1930s movie theater with working player piano.
Excellent find, considering the proliferation of “classic” 1990s mall theaters being posted recently.
