The Cinema 57 shut down in May of 1996; its final two offerings were “The Great White Hype” and “Original Gangstas”. The property currently houses, in addition to the Stuart Street Playhouse, as noted above by Gerald, an indoor golf driving range in one of the former cinema auditoriums.
When did this stop being a cinema? I remember going to see the movie “Hardwear” there in 1990.
The street number is probably correct, but it is a far stretch to refer to it as Chinatown, which is a good number of blocks away. Nothing Chinese is there. The theatre is close to Park Square.
I remember attending the Boston premiere of Alfred Hitchcock’s FRENZY here on June 20, 1972 with the great director in attendance. Hitch introduced the movie and cracked many sly jokes in his inimitable manner.
