This was a very busy venue for many years. Circa-1990 it was renamed “Copley Theatre” (because the original Copley Theatre nearby was gone). But I don’t think that name stuck. It has been closed for a long time now, and may have been remodeled out of existence.
The venue was later called New England Life Hall, per various newspaper ads for films and events here.
The building is now called the Newbry Building; address is 501 Boylston Street.
The Boston Childrens Theatre performed on stage here for many seasons, on Saturday mornings or afternoons. The lobby entrance was on Clarendon Street a few steps away from Boylston St.
