Although I had already seen “E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial” in English the year before, I came to see it here dubbed in French on August 2, 1983 on a subsequent run while I was in town for the Montreal World Film Festival downtown. I also saw the Italian version, I believe at the Riviera in this same city.
“Rentals of Capitol Theatre for the showing of foreign films has been resumed following the summer. ‘Sol e Touros’ and ‘Fogo’ in Portuguese have recently been presented at the house.” -Boxoffice Magazine, September 30, 1950.
The line in question, which survives, was spoken by Irene Ryan as the matronly Mrs. Shaw lamenting what might happen to the wealthy family should they lose their fortune. I watched the film on YouTube. Plenty of good songs and worth seeing.
I went to see this here when I was in college. I think this might have been “Benito Mussolini: anatomia di un dittatore” (1962). It wasn’t exactly pro-Mussolini but the showing might have been intended for older Italians in the area who had at least some lingering sympathies for the man. He certainly had been very popular with Italians in the U.S. in the 1930’s-1940’s when there was even a Mussolini Street in Providence that ran alongside St. Ann’s Church.

As the Guild. Italian neo-realist film “Outcry” seems to be a coming attraction.

First-class showmanship was always a trademark of the Paris Theatre.

A 1954 film by Léo Joannon.
This is posted under the wrong theatre. The Rialto was NOT the Rivoli, which is about seven blocks north of this.
Now it is shown regularly on TCM.

When I was a student at a Catholic high school in the city at that time, we were admonished, by a directive from the bishop, not to see this movie.

To my knowledge, this was never constructed here.
