Pietro Germi’s “The Birds, the Bees and the Italians” opened here on October 11, 1967. I have posted a newspaper ad for that program. The original title is “Signore e signori” (Ladies and Gentlemen.)

Was this theatre called the Cameo in the early 1930s? I have several ads for the Cameo from 1932. It is supposed to have been next to the Florida Orange Grove store, which was at 1083 Main Street, near Trumbull, which sounds like where the Parsons was located. I’m going to presume it was one and the same until someone corrects me.

“Mafioso” wasn’t a Providence premiere at all, but “Golden Door” was. Two fine Italian films.
