Theaters & Cinemas in New Haven, CT
The history of Bow Tie Cinemas starts over one hundred years ago, in the era of the Nickelodeon, when B. S. Moss started his long and illustrious career delivering popular entertainment to the public. The business of operating street front Nickelodeons speedily gave way to Vaudeville, which was the core of B. S. Moss Theaters until the 1930s when B. S. Moss sold his last Vaudeville theater and dedicated himself fully to building and operating motion picture theaters. B. S. Moss? Theaters were the springboard of many famous vaudevillians.
