Featured 1930s cinema brochure

going through old stuff at the mo and finding things i thought unsellable (or worth the effort of trying)

wondering if there would be any interest in something like this (which has damage)

or would there be more interest in the little advertisments inside (sold separately)

copie tells me gunga din and the one next were all released at the same month 1939

this was found in a bag at a auction house free for all with loads of similar cinema type paper pieces/photographs (but everything in bag was slighty damp)

there were LOADS of cinema organist and interiors that i had clumpted together and put in a heavy book to try to straighten.......and guess what.........books got mixed up........photos got lost..........untill i found them again....about a year later

 

.......wondering if thats before or after the start of the war now.......presuming before?

 

I'd sell them as a lot.

World War II started on September 3, 1939 so pre-. But not by much.

another one that was in there (bag) was much larger and better condition sold for a shat load......think if i remember twas the belfast ritz 1930 y ish as well

 

I like it Chas,I can see the Ebay headline now-'Gunga Din, Karloff,Shirley Temple- 30's Illustrated Film Brochure !'
I'll put yer name in lights Kid !
I'm rooting for you to find the orig posters-why you'd be holidaying at 'Butlins' mate.

 

i know they used it in auf pet when neville was moonlighting working in a german indian restaurant looking like aladdin

.....then in walks oz............. ( no emoji for oz )

 

Love the Art Deco cinema building, a real beauty.
I see they had a special amplified sound system "for the deaf", presumably the hard of hearing. I wonder how many cinemas had that in the day (or now).
Some information about the New Victoria, including photos of the majestic interior:

blimey, majestic is about right , think i'll keep it as it is, theres not another one for sale online (which is always a good thing) and theres definitely fans of this old cinema stuff........and can see why really

 

I know! The last photo is like it is a Gothic perpendicular style cathedral.

 

will see if i have any of the photos left................if i can find them

was down the pub recently and some young fellow put the wrong song on the jukebox, o he did have a laugh and a giggle about it, and went rather red.....

 

Look at those old theaters-they were the palaces of the middle-class and downtrodden. During the Depression you could feel like a Royal for two hours for a quarter.

 

Double features. Trailers, a newsreel, a cartoon, a short B-movie and an A-movie.
