I liked it in the 1950s-1960s and later (?) when you could enter through that right door, buy your ticket, turn left into a larger auditorium. The later modifications changed all that. At the end of shows, that center door would open and let you out directly onto Brattle Street.
Although the theatre was one of the best known structures in the town after 1919, there are precious few images of it and none of the interior. Year of this photo uncertain.
I never went to the Provincetown Theatre, even though I visited the town in the 1960s and 1970s a number of times When I seriously became interested in old movie theatres, the place had ceased to exist. To make up for my neglect, I have posted a good number of photos and ads in the photo section. My one wish is that someone will come up with photos of the interior, lobby, seating, audiences, projection booth, ANYTHING.
The face in the photo is of young Luciano De Ambrosis in “The Children Are Watching Us”, a late Fascist era Italian drama by De Sica.
February 10, 1849 ad. Film made in 1941. Original title: “Uomini sul fondo.”
