I begin the recognize it now. My mother and I had a complimentary one October Sunday evening in 1939 to see “Show Boat” with Alan Jones,Paul Robeson and Irene Dunne. Much better than the remake with Howard Keel and Ava Gardner. I recall the Manager’s name: Revvis. As Arthur Raymond’s family we were allowed in most Birmingham cinemas, ideally on slack nights: Thursdays and Sundays.
Regards. S.A. There was a different attitude then.
This cinema used to have a very decorative procenium arch which was destroyed when they put in a wider screen for CinemaScope and plain curtains were substituted. The building survived its repacement that wasin the Arcadian, which opened on 15th November 1991. It was demolished to make way for a hotel a few years later.
