A booklet celebrating the cinema’s 21st anniversary in 1954 (ie covering 1933-54) is held by the Kent MOMI Museum in Deal, Kent
It also gets a mention in Peeping Tom
They used to put on classic double bills, but the rep programmes largely stopped after it got taken over by Pullman in the late 90s
Boy,You said it,TlsLoews.
Very neat Cinema from the photos,a lot better than our multi-plexs!!!!
Neat name for a theatre.It is different.
I seem to remember a regular Marx Brothers mini-season each year in the 1960’s, I think. I went to a couple and the place was packed! As was a film with G B Shaw that my mum took me to in the late 50’s. He was chatting away in his, or somebody’s, back garden. I was probably too young to appreciate the “wit”, but I wonder what film it was…
EVERYMAN trivia, a bit dated….
the theatre is mentioned by name in the first line on the lyric to HAMPSTEAD INCIDENT, the closing song off of the popular MELLOW YELLOW album by DONOVAN, circa late 1966 – early ‘67.
A beautifully maintained successful cinema. Photos from April 2009 here:
