Prior to this, “White Cliffs” had been a critically-acclaimed blockbuster at Radio City Music Hall, so Loew’s showcased the B&W tearjerker as a single feature at slightly increased ticket prices.

By this time, the AOM had dropped stage presentations due to the nation’s worsening economic conditions. Reductions of ticket prices would be next.

Name on marquees and verticals was changed from Metropolitan, but roof sign had been removed except for framework. Current booking was “Canary Murder Case” and stage show, which opened February 7th, 1929. Advertising still stressed that the new Paramount was the former Metropolitan.

The B&W comedy was a “move-over” following its premiere engagement at the Capitol Theatre, which was still on a screen-only policy and currently with “The Emperor’s Candlesticks” as feature presentation.

This was F.F. Proctor’s first theatre in Albany, but built before he took over management for vaudeville and eventually movies as well.
