The Warner Theatre

Connecticut · United States · Theatre

Murph was homeless and trying to get into the theatre for somewhere to sleep. He fell down the stairs to the basement.

The Warner at Torrington, Connecticut is an atmospheric picture palace from the late 1920s, and the man reported in it is remembered by a nickname rather than a name.

Murph was homeless. He was trying to get into the building to have somewhere to sleep, he had been drinking, and he fell down the stairs leading to the basement.

He died for want of a bed, on a cold night, a few feet from a room full of seats.

What people report is cold moving air in the middle of summer.

He is treated fondly by the staff, which is a better outcome than he got while alive, and it is worth stating plainly that the accounts of his death have never been documented and that the man behind the nickname has otherwise vanished from the record entirely.

The theatre was restored and is a working performing arts venue.
