B.F. Keith's Theatre (1894–1928) in Boston, Massachusetts, was a vaudeville playhouse run by B.F. Keith. It sat across from the Boston Common in the city's theatre district, with an entrance on Tremont Street and another on Washington Street.[1] Personnel included Keith, E.F. Albee and H.E. Gustin.[2] Virgilio Tojetti painted some of the interior decorations.[3][4] "In 1939, the theater found a new life as a movie house called the Normandie Theater."[5]
