I remember being taken here at the age of 8 to see, I think, a Disney film and seeing the preview trailer for this movie. The co-hit “Tabu,” was a great 1931 film by Murnau and Flaherty.
Symphony Hall just beyond the Uptown.
Ad in Jewish Herald of RI.
January 1947.
In 1958 or so.
Dominique Sanda.
Strand location in relation to Fays shown.
Same place or not? There appears to be an address discrepancy.
This film can be seen complete on YouTube.
Johnstown, not Johnston.
October 1957 ad. Introduced Todd-AO to RI.
They seem to have had some occasional art-house programs.
Would return here a month later around St. Patrick’s Day by popular request.
Originally opened here a month earlier.
A John Ford film.
The Lafayette had first opened on October 21, 1932.
Also named “Teatro America” in some listings.
Both “West Point of the Air” and “Thanks a Million” posted on the front and side of the theatre were released in 1935.
Remade by Frank Capra as the 1961 film “A Pocketful of Miracles,” with Bette Davis
Surprised to see this played here in an exclusive first run. MGM films usually opened in the city at Loew’s State.
Result of labor troubles of the time.
Eddie Dowling was from Rhode Island.
