This Day in History: 1929-06-21
The big weekend attraction at the Lafayette, “Rockland County’s finest photoplay theatre” was “The Squall”. It starred Alice Joyce, Richard Tucker (not the opera singer), and Zazu Pitts. It was said to have come directly from months on Broadway at $2 a seat, and to be the “first presentation in this area”. The management claimed with pride that it was a “100 percent talking and singing picture”. There were two shows in the evening at 7 and 9 PM and a matinee at 3:00 on Saturday and Sunday. (Bristow)
