Dronfield’s Electra Cinema. The Dronfield Palace Cinema occupied the ground behind the coach house of the White Swan and was a popular venue on Saturday afternoons. There were two prices for the children’s matinee - one penny and tuppence. The lower price was for the first four rows, known as the ‘chicken run’, which consisted of wooden forms. The balcony was never opened for schoolchildren as it was considered too high up and dangerous. Missiles flew through the air as different groups bombarded one another. A pianist accompanied the silent films playing appropriate music.
