Fox kept this in release till almost 1970 both single and double. At one point it was even paired with “Planet of the Apes” and then under “Beyond the Valley of the Dolls"

I remember seeing this Christmas 1971 re-issue at the Ridgewood. The thing I remember most was they used hard plastic 3D glasses not the cheap paper ones.

This 1954 Technicolor version of “Hansel & Gretel” went to the RKO’s for Christmas of 1954. It was still being re-issued as a childrens matinee in the early 70’s.

RKO was not the only chain to book ballet in the mid 60’s. Here is Sleeping Beauty in 1966 on the Loew’s run. Even in 1966 im sure they were not breaking the doors down for this at the Delancey.
