Loew's State: El Grande de Coca-Cola

A half century ago, May 9, 1975, El Grande de Coca Cola opened in the auditorium of Loew's State Theatre after a pair of previews on the 7th and 8th. This show led by director Fran Soeder, with a cast of Patty Johnson, Mark Passerell, Claudia Conrad, Chris Ritchey and Ralph Gunderman was the hit of the summer. A lot more here.

From the Plain Dealer, May 4, 1975.
