Hingham, Mass., Residents, Officials Cheer Opening of New 2-Screen Theater.
Byline: Robert Preer
Jun. 20--A small Hingham-based theater chain and a group of Scituate activists have rewritten the ending to a familiar tale -- the demise of the downtown movie house.
"Shrek 2" and the third "Harry Potter" movie were the scheduled features for this weekend's opening at the latest version of the Scituate Playhouse on Front Street.
Late last week, David Scott, treasurer of Patriot Cinemas, was overseeing workers putting the final touches on the new two-screen theater that is part of a waterfront condominium development in the heart of Scituate's downtown.
"It's a dinosaur -- the downtown movie theater. They say they don't build them anymore, that's for sure," said Scott, smiling at the irony in the statement.
