You can just barely make out the art for William Wyler’s The Desperate Hours (which opened on 10.6.55) on the Criterion marquee.
According to Frank Nugent’s 9.8.39 N.Y. Times review, Golden Boy opened at the Radio City Music Hall. Loew’s State was always a first-run house so the film must have been double-booked. Extra-popular films were sometimes shown that way in the old days. (King Kong opened simultaneously at the Roxy and Music Hall.) Note the billing of “Willaim” Holden, third-billed below Barbara Stanwyck and Adolf Menjou.
