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.
The St. George Theatre had the same address as the Princess Theatre, 79 Concord Street. So I assume they were the same place. I posted a photo of the Princess on a vintage postcard.
I went here once in the late 1960s for the movie “Carmen Baby.”
If that is Buster Keaton’s “The Cameraman,” it is certainly being projected, without respect, in an incorrect aspect ratio!

Chet Dowling I myself posted a photo in the photos section. It was a picture on the 1941 MGM survey of N.E. theatres. Did you see it?
I saw “Kiss Me Kate” in 3-D in Providence!
From 1994.

This theatre was first known as the Princess, in the 1910s. By the start of the 1920s, it was renamed the Lyric. The building is still there.
Nice movie!

“The Last Picture Show”
A few steps from the bridge and a few more steps to downtown Westerly, RI.
The theatre was located on the second floor, it seems.
The Westerly, RI library can be seen further up on the left.
If anyone living in this neighborhood or anywhere else has a photo of this building, I would appreciate hearing about it.
