“Gideon of Scotland Yard”, at the bottom of the bill, was a very good film by John Ford. A color film shown in the US in black and white prints only. It belonged at the Avon Cinema.
The place had been known as Dimond Hall and was in the Dimond Block according to newspaper pieces. Dimond, not “Diamond.” It existed in the late 1800s.
The trolley tracks mean that it is earlier than 1948 or not long after.
It would re-open, but in 1934 it could close, pretty much for good. There would be few and far-between re-attempts to make this a viable theatre.
D.W. Griffith film.
That’s William S. Hart.
I wonder what movie they saw.
Start of trash phase.
I saw “Loves of a Blonde” here. It was the Czech version with English subtitles.
Toshiro Mifune and Machiko Kyo in Kurosawa’s “Rashomon.”
Francesco Rosi’s bullfight movie.
Co-hit “Stranger’s Hand” is a wonderful film with a great cast, a British-Italian co-production.
Saw this here at age 13.
Souvenir tile.
“Marty” and “Summertime.”
Can be found on YouTube.
“Il mulatto”
July 6 1951, before and after.
Looks like a delayed showing or re-issue. Anyway they got the content description all wrong.

“A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum” & “A Thousand Clowns.”
Marquee photo of this run is posted elsewhere.
Wholesome offering at a cinema that would be later blasted for its pornographic parade.
I remember thinking that the evening admission price of $5.50 for this movie was outrageous.
In the 1990s.
Across from Grace Church.
