The Princess theatre in Hopkinton was gutted by a fire last Wednesday afternoon. Monticello and local fire crews battled the blaze, which started in the basement and spread to the ceiling. The one story brick building, unoccupied for 10 years, sits between Dr L P Connolly’s office and the American Legion hall and is owned by Ernest Landis of Monticello. Major damage was to basement lumber. No loss estimate given.
