History
The Bostonian Movie House was built in 1923. It served the local neighborhoods as a source of entertainment for 10 years until the first fire destroyed it in September of 1933. It was quickly reconstructed the following year but under new management. During the early forties, it was the gathering place for families with members being sent off to war. During that time it showcased the Frank Capraseries, "Why We Fight," that was used to motivate and educate the public as to why and how we were going to war. Through the remainder of the 1940's, 50's and 60's it saw great movie classics come and go until new management bought it and turned it into an adult only theatre. By 1989 it was shut down by local activist groups and remained so until March of 1999.
Today the Bostonian Movie House is alive and looks much like it did in all it's splendor, 50 years ago. With a new Dolby Digital Surround System and 50 foot screen (larger than the average screen of today) the Bostonian Movie House shows second run movie classics that date back to the early 1930's to today's release of Star Wars: A New Hope.
