  WILLIAMS, ARIZONA; ADDITIONAL "WALK THROUGH TIME" BUILDINGS OF INTEREST All images courtesy Arizona Memory project; Williams, Arizona Collection. Original scans available at the Williams Historic Photo Project, Williams, AZ. (AZMEMORY.AZLIBRARY.GOV) Early picture of the first Catholic church in Williams. Everyone is dressed in their finest attire, and the occasion appears to be the celebration of establishing a Red Cross chapter at the church (the flag has a cross centered on a field of white; the women are dressed similar to a nursing uniform.)  Caption states that this is the "World Famous Sultana Bar," from the 1920s.  The Sultana Movie Theater, circa 1940s. The bar entrance was located around the corner, in the same building. These were the days before television and smart phones, where the theater was a place to watch the latest Hollywood releases, catch up on the world events via the newsreel shorts, and enjoy the antics of early animated cartoons.
