We were back at the Kinema in the Woods today, this time to see The Great Escaper. It’s quite a moving film interspersed with humour. Michael Caine & the late Glenda Jackson, were excellent, as you would expect.
I am not actually old enough to remember there being an intermission, for ice creams etc & entertainment by someone playing this! The organ & the man playing it, rose up from underneath the stage, as it would done in times gone by! Tunes were both recognisable & good to listen to!
Oh I remember the breaks first came the B movie than the A movie. In-between snacks that were good. One thing that hasn't changed is the girl's bathroom had a line. I don't remember an organ player.
We used to have an organ player at our local cinema when I was a young child! He played in the interval when the ladies in short skirts with trays hung around their necks appeared selling sweets, little foil capped squash drinks and ice cream tubs. They changed the reels while this was happening. I miss those days!
What a lovely place. ! Oh the times of cinema.. first thing we saw was jungle book!
We go to kilworth house theatre, when we visit our oldest school friend .what a fantastic place that is.
I remember old theaters that had organ music like this at intermission...one in Tucson, AZ at The Fox theater and one in St Louis...can't recall the theater name! I suppose that makes me "old!
I bet it was a great night. I remember intermissions for ice creams etc, but I don't ever remember an organ player. I think they were just in the posh cinemas, not the flea pits I used to go to as a child.
I vaguely remember going to the movies as a child- I think because a lot of the movies scared me- even if they weren't scary! I don't really remember intermission but I do remember the candy! haha
Oh Yes! I love those curtains.
At the Regent Theatre in Brisbane city the organ rose out of the pit playing dramatically. The girls with trays hung round their necks sold ice creams in little tubs & small chocolates. I loved it all.
