There was a fight. Someone shouted “fight” and it was taken for “fire.” A general melee followed. A number of children were injured, especially the 7-year old boy who was taken to the hospital. You can find the full article in October 16, 1939 Evening Bulletin, available online through the Providence Public Library website.

I don’t think this film played commercially in RI, although non-theatrical showings like this were plentiful.

On October 15, 1939 a panic in the upper balcony led to a crush in which several people were injured, including a boy of 7. Two photos in the photo section show the report from the Providence newspaper the next day.

A busy Main Street, as the Loew’s-Poli Theater advertises its grand opening, with a visit from Frank Sinatra.

“Norma” must be the 1935 film “Casta Diva” by Carmine Gallone.

AI tells me: Finding a copy of Beni Montresor’s 1972 film Pilgrimage (also known as Le Pèlerinage) is currently difficult as it is not available on major streaming platforms or through standard retail DVD/Blu-ray outlets. Because it is a rare piece of avant-garde cinema, your best options for locating it involve archival research and specialized film collections…

PILGRIMAGE is now virtually a lost film and was pretty much screened only here and at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

“The Brat” is an almost entirely forgotten and rarely seen John Ford comedy.
