From the 'Turnback Tuesday' archives: Commodore Hull Theater in Derby

This week's "Turnback Tuesday" is a postcard, circa 1907-1915, that highlights the Commodore Hull Theater on Elizabeth Street.

It advertises Vaudeville plus 85 acts featuring silent movie star and Brooklyn-born Connie Talmadge. It appears the theater approaches the Elks Club with cars of the era parked in the foreground.

[This was first published on this date in 2015.]

Thanks goes to the Derby Public Library staff for sharing interesting local history each week.
