First invoice was for SINGING TAXI DRIVER, an Italian film (Taxi di notte) with Beniamino Gigli, shown circa 1954. Italian films, particularly those with musical/operatic connections, often played here during that period.

Imported films had rentals that were often twice as expensive as US product.
