An unattributed comment I found a while back regarding some history of this theatre: “Historical dramas in Arabic were performed until the mid-1930s, when Arabic films rented from New York replaced them. These films were shown in the downtown Little Theatre adjoining the Worcester Memorial Auditorium (now Worcester AUD) until the early 1950s.”
The Savoy was considered a class house for the presentation of theatre, concerts, and later, major films of the era.

For the week beginning August 30, 1915, the Savoy presented the city premiere of D. W. Griffith’s epic film The Birth of a Nation.
