In 1958 or so.
Dominique Sanda.
Strand location in relation to Fays shown.
Same place or not? There appears to be an address discrepancy.
This film can be seen complete on YouTube.
Johnstown, not Johnston.
October 1957 ad. Introduced Todd-AO to RI.
They seem to have had some occasional art-house programs.
Would return here a month later around St. Patrick’s Day by popular request.
Originally opened here a month earlier.
A John Ford film.
The Lafayette had first opened on October 21, 1932.
Also named “Teatro America” in some listings.
Both “West Point of the Air” and “Thanks a Million” posted on the front and side of the theatre were released in 1935.
Remade by Frank Capra as the 1961 film “A Pocketful of Miracles,” with Bette Davis
Surprised to see this played here in an exclusive first run. MGM films usually opened in the city at Loew’s State.
Result of labor troubles of the time.
Eddie Dowling was from Rhode Island.
I see some ads for this theatre in the 1930s call it “Music Hall/Rialto.”
Could be the 1930 Austrian musical.
Circa 1922.
An uncommon first run movie for this theatre, run as a roadshow. The Carlton was presenting mostly stage shows during this period.
During the week of April 13, 1955, the Joy Theatre had CinemaScope wide screen and projection equipment installed for movies in that format.
Polish-language films were shown here over the years. Must be a Polish-speaking community located here.
