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

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.

Rossellini’s “Woman” (“Desiderio”) plus Gassman in “Shamed” (“Preludio d'amore”.) An Italian double bill that circulated widely, if slowly, during the 1950s and early 1960s.

It’s spelled Pier PAOLO Pasolini, not “Pablo.”

The location of this theatre was Thames Street at the corner of Gidley Street. It had previously been called the Theatre Comique until 1908.

My first time here was with friends on June 26, 1961 to see a double bill of “The Apartment” and Elmer Gantry.“ Pretty good program.

If that is Buster Keaton’s “The Cameraman,” it is certainly being projected, without respect, in an incorrect aspect ratio!

Gerald A. DeLuca commented about Cinerama Theatre on Jan 7, 2018 at 10:16 am

The 70mm release of “Gone With the Wind” did not play there. It played at the Four Seasons (now East Providence 10) in East Providence. I saw it there. I thought it was an abomination for the way it cropped and vandalized the original movie’s aspect ratio. “This is Cinerama” played there beginning August 9, 1961. I submitted a comment on that somewhere below. Check it out.
