That film was released November 24, 1933.
Showing a 1955 movie.
In the 1890s.
City’s first movie theatre too.
Looks like the Midway Theatre was showing a re-issue of the 1940 “The Mark of Zorro” with Tyrone Power.
As the Midway.
It had opened in 1907.
A 1955 film.
Great place for a horror flick series in 16mm maybe.
Loos like the projection booth behind the basketball hoop.
Truncated version of Lang’s masterpiece with a score by Giorgio Moroder. Not bad.
The 1895 date on the front is the same date as in the description.
The 35mm print was at least 20 reels long, weighed a ton, cost a fortune to ship. I charged only $8 admission. Should have charged $15. We had two full houses. Vinnie Paz came to a screening.
I first saw this when it played here in 1959. It is still my favorite single film of all time.
Manager in the 1960s.
February 1, 2007.
70mm roadshow, best sound, as I recall.
Russian production, shorter version.
“La cuccagna,” 1962.
The only theatre still remaining as of today is the Majestic.
I love weatherbeaten ads from old newspapers!
French films were often shown in this mill-town of French-Canadian ancestry where the language was widely spoken.
In 1928.
