The typical double-bill programmes at the Gaiety were always well planned with a specially related theme. I well recall going there on a very stormy Saturday night.
“War of the Worlds” and “When Worlds Collide” thrilled the jam-packed audience especially when the outside thunderstorm caused the projection to go crazy. This, in turn, had girls screaming while we boys made all sorts of creepy noises to add to the excitement.
