In a Sunday May 5th, 1935 Des Moines Resister ad, the PARAMOUNT theater was running “THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN.” Boris Karloff and Elsa Lancaster stared. The ad also states that it was not recommended for children or ladies who faint. A nurse was in attendance. The co featuire was Times Square Lady with Virginia Bruce. Admitance was $.21 till 1:00 PM nad $.26 after that.

The Paramount also had stage shows, I got called up for a magician one time.
