Not sure if this auction was for theatre items or not. The place would close in three years.
Two art houses of the era: Avon and Art cinemas.
The film can be watched on You Tube, complete, dubbed in English.
This looks like the 1953 film version with Sophia Loren as Aida (with Renata Tebaldi’s voice.)
I attended a performance that seminarians (like myself at the time) were bussed to. It would be charitable to say it was a mediocre show and at times even laughable, as a number of us opined.
These had been shown in the previous decade at the Avon Cinema in Providence.
I watched this here, dubbed. Some boorish teens were in the audience.
UPDATE: This theatre was still showing films, perhaps on and off, until the early 1970’s, per newspaper ads found.
Visconti.
As I recall, when two men, played by Peter Finch and Murray head, kissed each other on the lips, some in the audience said “eewwwwwww!”
To terrywade: Slightly curved, as I recall.
An Italian “shockumentary” by Blasetti.
August 1964.
First saw this here!
KWAHERI can be watched on YouTube, complete.
I saw this here. Surprisingly it was shown in the original Italian version with English subtitles.
A white supremacist film title.
“Last and Sassy” = “Fast and Sexy.”
Revival showing. It had premiered at the Majestic about four years earlier.
Day-dating with the Majestic in Providence.
Wouldn’t be long before this place became a porno house.
I came to see this here at age 16.
Mid-1960s, I believe. I remember seeing “Treasure of Sierra Madre” as part of this series here.
Don’t believe so. I attended one of these showings. The image was cropped too!
