2013 article on the theatre building. https://www.independentri.com/independents/north_east/article_d1f9154a-4923-5b49-a39d-b79a33640091.html
The 1942 Italian 2-part film was combined into one film, shortened, re-edited with different ending by the Rand folks, alternate politically correct dialog added. Still a remarkable movie from fascist Italy which speaks out against ALL tyranny.
You can also see the Majestic Theatre in the Square further up.
INDIAN FIGHTER was a 1955 movie.
I saw that excellent documentary film there.
Went often from 1958 to 1965.
Visited he Stuart once in the 1970s to see the movie “Doc.”
The theatre was on the ground floor of the building.
“I sette dell'Orsa Maggiore,” Duilio Coletti.
I remember volunteering for some cleanout at this time.
Loew’s State marquee visible too at end of Mathewson Street. That’s now PPAC.
Likely a 1957 photo.
“Young and the Passionate” was Fellini’s “I Vitelloni.”
Demolished in March 2025.
Within the Westerly RI downtown area.
In Pawcatuck.
In Westerly/Pawcatuck.
1938?
The card gives the city as Westerly, RI. The theatre was actually across the state line in Pawcatuck (Stonington) CT.
Part of the Pawcatuck/Westerly business area straddling the state line between CT and RI.
A classy double bill.
The Green Slime and Speedway.
In 1956.
Big hit at the time. Silent Italian spectacle that influenced D. W. Griffith.
