This theatre was located in a strip mall just off Rte 9 in Westboro Massachusetts. It was originally called the Ruth Gordon Flicks and played art film.
My uncle John DeLellis owned this theater in the mid 80’s. I would spend the occasional afternoon there watching kid-appropriate movies. My aunt and grandmother would sell concessions. I remember helping to clean up a little (as best as a kid can) because I got to see the free movies! They found it very hard to make a living from the theater and sold it to a fellow who worked for them. I’m not sure if that guy owned it until it closed or not, but the opening of the nearby Hoyts (now Regal) multiplex killed it. It sat empty for a while before being completely gutted for a Staples.
I still remember my Uncle Johnny complaining about Disney as a distributor, how tough their terms were, etc.
Little did I know I would end up working in movie theaters most of my adult life!
