Nestled in the beating heart of Boston’s Historic Combat Zone stood B-Town’s only grindhouse. Rundown and rodent infested it was the perfect place to view the Sexploitation and Horror classics and lesser drive in fare. It started life as The Gaiety Theatre (1908–1949) featuring burlesque, vaudeville and cinema. In 1949 it became the Publix Theatre. By the late 70’s it was a full tilt grindhouse surrounded by two blocks of porn. Around 1980 it ended its life as a Black Action house. One film that was on several double bill was “Naughty Schoolgirls” a rerelease title of The Blazer Girls (1975)
