Breed Theatre

The Colonial Theatre was operating by 1915. By 1917 it had been renamed Breed Theatre and was still open in 1930 when it had been equipped with a Phototone sound system. It had closed by 1931.

The long vacant building was destroyed by fire on November 3, 1963

Theatre ads in the photo section say Breed not Breed’s. Should be that way on CT.

Uploaded a photo from the New York Public Library Digital Collection of “Breed Hall”.

Found a 1915 reference as Colonial; a 1917 as Breed.
