my great grandfather Ludwig Schlentheim was the owner of Somerald and Co, the first owners of Palais de Luxe in London opened in 1909.
My great grandfather went bankrupt due to anti-german racist sentiment of the investers of the theatre. He died in his car crossing a London bridge, probably from a heart attack from stress. He was also a founding member of the AA in 1905 which is still in existence today. The love of film continued through the family and my father Jeff Seaholme was an Ealing cameraman filming many of the comedies and hand picked by Charles Chaplin to film ‘A King in New York’. he also filmed Polanski’s cul-de-sac.
