THE PICTURE HOUSE - a photographic album of North West Cinemas
(A4 paperback book, 92 pages, £6.95)
(A4 paperback book, 92 pages, £6.95)
The story of 'going to the pictures' - from the
early fairground bioscope shows and the local
bughuts to the luxurious picture palaces of the
1930s and the sad fate of many cinemas since 1950s
- is told in 180 photographs. The cinemas, their
staff, the publicity stunts used to attract
audiences, the films made showing local working
people, local stars and performers, the rivalry of
television - are all inside The Picture
House.
