Program started at the Regal December 14, 1949.
The Regal Theatre was demolished in 1952.
This is a little more than a week before the attack on Pearl Harbor.
I can see posters for “All That Money Can Buy” (left) and “Lady Scarface” (right) which were playing that weekend.
From 1946.
Two films from 1946 on the marquee.
I’m not sure the World Theatre is on Cinema Treasures.
I’m wondering if that was the owner Joseph W. Walsh peering out the window.
Entrance, right. This photo was from an oil dealer’s ad touting the economy of oil heat vs. more expensive coal.
Two years after the Rivoli opened in 1926.
In 1985.
As the Thalia Soho.
Always admired that unique facade.
There must have been a Norwegian-speaking community in this region.
That’s GIUSEPPE Verdi.
May 8, 1967.
Interesting grand opening day film: “Forever Yours” with Italian tenor Beniamino Gigli. It had played the previous month at the Bushnell Memorial.
“The Tunnel” was the 1940 “Proud Valley.”
I attended that memorable event on Monday, May 8, 1967 at the Beacon. I took a photo of the marquee (posted elsewhere here) and of Swanson herself onstage.
Clever promotion.
Also called the Avery Memorial.
Despite the shameless propaganda, the Dziga Vertov film has a lot to offer the serious film buff. It can be watched on YouTube.
You can see from the lobby a section of the glass blocks that comprised much of the facade.
