Picture Palace

Located in Athy, County Kildare. The Picture Palace opened on 5th September 1926 with “Madame Sans-Gene” and later had a British Acoustic(BA) sound system installed for talkies. It was established by Captain Hosie, an army officer, in what had previously been a malt house. It was later sold on to a Mr Holmes and then to the Roscrea & Athy Cinema Company. The 600-seater continued until business was severely affected by the opening of the Grove Cinema. The foyer was later used as a shop.
