I read the above comments and realized that this is where my grandfather John T. Watt was manager back in the early days.I asked my uncle who was from Woburn and he verified the Movie theatre and the “Blue Orchid Dinnerware” promos that went on back then.He also told me that there were other types of giveaways and prizes.
Do you know if this was a silent theatre before talkies? My grandfather was involved in this field for many years. He also brought Mr BoJangles to Woburn for shows.
Is there a book on the history of this theatre? I would appreciate any info you might have or can steer me towards.
I will be visiting Woburn in October with my uncle to visit some of my mother’s family places of interest.
