Pavilion Theatre

As ritzman says, the Pavilion was 90 years old on Tuesday 19th March 2019. A special anniversary film and stage show was presented. The programme was introduced by Technical Co-Ordinator Christian Knighton, who presented a slide show history of the Pavilion. He was followed by a recreation of the Pavilion Municipal Orchestra, conducted by David Sims, then archive footage of Bournemouth was accompanied by Donald Mackenzie on the Compton organ. He then gave a recital followed, after the interval, by a screening of the 1933 Hollywood musical “42nd Street”, starring Dick Powell and Ruby Keeler. In an really nice touch, patrons received a complimentary souvenir brochure. To add to the occasion, David Eve and Gary Trinder, of the Cinema Theatre Association, set up a comprehensive display of cinema memorabilia in one of the side corridors.

Hi. Super site. For your information, the Bournemouth Pavilion is now operated by a charitable Trust called BHLive.
