Postcard displaying four movie theatres on Broadway in Lawrence Massachusetts.
From Roloff deJeu's Flickr page: "4 Theatres in a Row on this great Curteich postcard. The street is mentioned in Ripley's Believe It or Not as the only place in the world where one can find four movie theatres in a row. The stunning and detailed Palace was designed by architects Clarence H. Blackall, Clapp and Whittemore."
