Here in the UK, 20th Century Fox (the film production company) operated the Carlton Theatre, Haymarket, London, the Rialto Theatre, Coventry Street, London and the they built the Drake Cinema, Plymouth, Devon(Later taken over by Odeon). In a former Commonwealth country like South Africa, it is conceivable they built and operated the Kine 1 & 2.
Hi there smoothie! Best to go to:– http://www.picturethepast.org.uk/ then go to ‘Search the Images’ then type in ‘Cinemas’ and click place name in drop down box. Currently, all the Derby cinemas are on Cinema Treasures, (apart from the Metro). I was raised in the town, so know them all and have added them to this site.
