Rossellini’s “Woman” (“Desiderio”) plus Gassman in “Shamed” (“Preludio d'amore”.) An Italian double bill that circulated widely, if slowly, during the 1950s and early 1960s.

The 70mm release of “Gone With the Wind” did not play there. It played at the Four Seasons (now East Providence 10) in East Providence. I saw it there. I thought it was an abomination for the way it cropped and vandalized the original movie’s aspect ratio. “This is Cinerama” played there beginning August 9, 1961. I submitted a comment on that somewhere below. Check it out.
The St. George Theatre had the same address as the Princess Theatre, 79 Concord Street. So I assume they were the same place. I posted a photo of the Princess on a vintage postcard.

If that is Buster Keaton’s “The Cameraman,” it is certainly being projected, without respect, in an incorrect aspect ratio!

I saw “Kiss Me Kate” in 3-D in Providence!
