While other theatres had converted to sound years earlier, the American stubbornly stayed silent trying to survive with exploitation films such as “The Red Kimono” (bottom ad). The theatre would close on October 29, 1931 with a double-feature of “The Pace That Kills” (starring Virginia Roye introducing a farm boy to opium and cocaine) and “The Road to Ruin” (with Helen Foster whose life is forever altered by sex and drugs).
