ART DECO ARCHITECTURE & THE ‘TALKIES’ IN 1932 - Beautiful Art Deco ceiling

It must have seemed so glamourous when the Gaumont Palace gala opening on the 11th of July 1932. The film shown was Sunshine Susie, a 1931 British musical comedy starting Renate Muller, Jack Hulbert, and Owen Nares. It was the voted the best British film of 1932. This was the ‘talkies’ coming to Taunton! The grand opening was performed by the Taunton Mayor – Councillor WE Maynard JP. He was assisted by the glamourous musical star of the day – actress, singer and dancer, Miss Jessie Matthews.
