Special thanks to several people who have helped better my knowledge of the Strand Theatre.
Cindy Capillo (Joe Capillo's daughter) provided me with copies of the article reproduced here.
Thanks as well to the Southbridge News for permitting their reprint.
Also thanks to Frank Flannagen who managed the Strand.
He provided an tape of his recollections of that time.

Finally, if this jogs your memory, I would love to have you e-mail your own recollections of the Strand.
I also am looking for any photos (inside or outside) that I could borrow and scan. Thanks!
