@billinuk: The Cinema 57 as I knew it had been converted into a two screen theater in an unusual way: it was split DOWN THE MIDDLE, resulting in two very long skinny rooms. (The back half was essentially useless; you would be better off watching the movie at home than from there.) The original configuration, which was gone before I ever went there, would have had a larger screen.
Charles Cinema may not have had the largest screen in Boston when it opened. But those other places closed or stopped showing movies long before the Charles did, so the time when it had the largest screen in Boston came later.
