I have spent most of the last number of days under the care of Dr. Autolycus, thanks to whose strict regimen of therapeutic purr I finally managed to sleep for more than two hours last night.

I had never heard of the Copley Theatre in Boston, so went looking for it a few nights ago. I found first a confusing reference via the Federal Theatre Project, suggesting an address of 27 Huntington Avenue, then a much more verifiable pointer in the form of a poster for the Boston run of William DuBois' Haiti (1938), whereupon a search for 463 Stuart Street yielded an immediate hit on Cinema Treasures withron_newman clarifying the question of addresses—different entrances at different times in the history of the building—in the comments. It began life as the Toy Theatre in 1914 and I had never heard of it because in 1962 it was scraped off the earth by the Mass Pike, at which time it was operating as a Brattle-style movie house called the Capri and had just completed a second round of renovations, including the projectors and screen. Gmaps imprecisely shows glass walls of new construction after the current fashion of Back Bay. I shall go someday and say hi to the proper address.
