Opened in 1928 as the Braverman Theatre and was dubbed the Boulevard Theatre shortly thereafter for Salasin & Freed. In 1937, architect Victor A. Rigaumont reimagined the theatre for the Warner Bros. Circuit reopening that November.

The theater was known at least briefly as the Braverman.

For decades after the Boulevard closed, the building was used by the Cedar of Lebanon Society, which may still be there. I have the theater’s address as 808 Brookline Boulevard. It probably occupied 808 and 810.
