Sunday concert licenses were approved for the Verdi Theatre and the La Sirena Theatre as reported by the Providence newspaper on April 5, 1916.
The address should be given as 375 Atwells Avenue.
Sometimes given as LA SERENA in ads and articles.
Reference is made to the La Sirena Theatre on Atwells Avenue in this article from the Evening Tribune, November 6, 1910:
La Sirena
This theatre also went by its Italian name, “Teatro La Sirena.”
In his book Federal Hill for the “Images of America” series, Joe Fuoco notes, “Federal Hill had a picture theatre in the 1920s called Teatro La Serena. Located on Atwells Avenue, it was the scene of much laughter and many tears over the years.”
There is a photo of a 1921 flyer in Italian advertising a live variety show there that was a fund-raiser for the defense of Sacco and Vanzetti.
