The Alhambra was a money maker for Warner Theaters. They usally offered action Bs and reissuses. During the 50s with the stiff competition from televison and blockbusters at the other downtown houses, The Alhambra alwaus had a crowd. Randolph Scott, Audie Murphy and Warner gangster reissuses were shown often. The upper balcony was always filled with sailors from The Great Lakes Naval Base and their Milwaukee girl friends.
TheAlhambra did show some big pictures. Laurence Olivier"s Hamlet played a road show engagement. Streetcar Named Desire and Life with Father also were road show engagements.
