Providence Journal.
Powell Theatre.
Date?
“Regain,” 1937, Marcel Pagnol, from Jean Giono.
The trolley tracks mean that it is earlier than 1948 or not long after.
It would re-open, but in 1934 it could close, pretty much for good. There would be few and far-between re-attempts to make this a viable theatre.
D.W. Griffith film.
That’s William S. Hart.
I wonder what movie they saw.
Start of trash phase.
I saw “Loves of a Blonde” here. It was the Czech version with English subtitles.
Toshiro Mifune and Machiko Kyo in Kurosawa’s “Rashomon.”
Francesco Rosi’s bullfight movie.
Co-hit “Stranger’s Hand” is a wonderful film with a great cast, a British-Italian co-production.
Saw this here at age 13.
Souvenir tile.
“Marty” and “Summertime.”
Can be found on YouTube.
“Il mulatto”
July 6 1951, before and after.
Looks like a delayed showing or re-issue. Anyway they got the content description all wrong.
“Gideon of Scotland Yard”, at the bottom of the bill, was a very good film by John Ford. A color film shown in the US in black and white prints only. It belonged at the Avon Cinema.
“A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum” & “A Thousand Clowns.”
Marquee photo of this run is posted elsewhere.
Wholesome offering at a cinema that would be later blasted for its pornographic parade.
