Police reported it was overcrowded. Undertakings were made by the management (Mr Walter
Joseph of Norwich)
The story of the Cinema, in Saltgate, is too recent to be termed history. Built in 1914 on the site of the
old Prince of Wales Inn, its opening was attended with little ceremony..for it was around the time of
the commencement of the first World War.
It was owned by a Norwich company and my only recollection is of its resident pianist, a little fellow
with hair brushed well back, his coat tails arrayed behind the piano stool as he performed. The war
lingered on with its memories of Zeppelin nights when on occasion the hostile airships clanked across
the skies carrying their load of bombs weighing but a few pounds each.
THE SERIALS
Yet all was well within the Cinema, The silver screen poirtrayed the latest productions, not forgetling
the great attraction of the serial, which in those days counted more than even the feature film. The
never-to-be-forgotten Pearl White, the thrills, even the sob stuff as we sang the theme tune “Elaine” in
which we indicated the Lady had set our hearts aflame!
After the war the ownership of the Cinema changed and eventually passed into local hands and it
embarked upon an era probably unequalled since, with genial Bob Atkinson as manager and Mr. Jimmy
Cutler the musical chief. In the early days tinkling piano was considered adequate to lend atmosphere
to a picture but later a small three or four piece orchestra took its place, for the musical accompaniment
to a picture was slowly becoming an art.
With the coming of “super” pictures a musical score was generally available, adding considerably to
the presentation, while sound effects emanating from the orchestra pit provided a touch of realism.

sketches of the town, adding somewhat despairingly: You of all people should have a tale to tell.” So, in deference to my
friend the omission shall be remedied.
The story of the Cinema, in Saltgate, is too recent to be termed history. Built in 1914 on the site of the old Prince of Wales
Inn, its opening was attended with little ceremony..for it was around the time of the commencement of the first World
War.
It was owned by a Norwich company and my only recollection is of its resident pianist, a little fellow with hair brushed
well back, his coat tails arrayed behind the piano stool as he performed. The war lingered on with its memories of Zeppelin
nights when on occasion the hostile airships clanked across the skies carrying their load of bombs weighing but a few
pounds each.
THE SERIALS
Yet all was well within the Cinema, The silver screen portrayed the latest productions, not forgetling the great attraction of
the serial, which in those days counted more than even the feature film. The never-to-be-forgotten Pearl White, the thrills,
even the sob stuff as we sang the theme tune “Elaine” in which we indicated the Lady had set our hearts aflame!
After the war the ownership of the Cinema changed and eventually passed into local hands and it embarked upon an era
probably unequalled since, with genial Bob Atkinson as manager and Mr. Jimmy Cutler the musical chief. In the early days
tinkling piano was considered adequate to lend atmosphere to a picture but later a small three or four piece orchestra took
its place, for the musical accompaniment to a picture was slowly becoming an art.
With the coming of “super” pictures a musical score was generally available, adding considerably to the presentation, while
sound effects emanating from the orchestra pit provided a touch of realism.
EFFECTS USED
An example of this considerably added to the success of D. W. Griffith’s “Way Down East” which ran at the Cinema for a
week. The music was superb—even now I seldom hear Schubert’s Serenade without harking back to this picture, for the
heroin’s appearance (Lillian Gish played the part) at any time in the picture produced a few bars of this theme, while her
escape across the ice-floes released a shattering roar from a cylinder containing stones etc. in the orchestra pit.
Sleigh bells, triangles, tambourines and rain effects were also added as required. There were many other special screenings
in the old Cinema days—how well I remember other Griffith’s “supers” “Broken Blossoms” (also with Lilian Gish) and the
mighty “Intolerance” and “Birth of a Nation.” The great Valentino in “The Four Horsemen” and Lon Chaney m “The
Hunchback of Notre Dame” and others ‘that appeared on the Cinema screen.
BRITISH FILMS
All the foregoing pictures, together with most of the stars had origin in the USA., but what of the British films of the
Cinema’s silent days? Truth to tell they are in the main forgotten, for the British film industry of those days was but in its
birth pangs. The best of a poor lot were undoubtedly those that emerged from the Hepworth studios, their stars being
Henry Edwards, Chrissie White and Stewart Rome.
True the Hepworth artists gave sincere performances and the scenes of the countryside of Old England were as a breath of
fresh, sweet air compared with the interminable scenes of the American canyons, and dusty prairies with their bandits and
sheriff’s posses! Drama, comedy—with tears and laughter, great pictures, poor pictures—even an unusual picture,
“Warning Shadows” which was shown for but one night—all these contributed to the good old days of the silent films;
two houses nightly, with Saturday and Bank Holiday matinees.
There were the regular Cinemagoers—you could tell the evening without a calendar by a glance at some of the rows of
seats—if you saw ‘old - “ in his favourite seat it was Monday, observe Mrs. -- and it would certainly be Wednesday.
There came a day when the sound picture appeared on the horizon, but the Cinema was in no hurry to adopt the “talkies.”
True in the early 1930’s the orchestra pit underwent altereations, the orchestra—almost like the Arabs— stole silently
away, and the Cinema was bereft of Jimmie’s fiddle, Gus’s cornet to say nothing of cello and piano, their place being taken
by a radiogram and recorded music.
The Cinema eventually succumbed to the new cult and its first “all talking” feature was “The Love Parade” wiith Maurice
Yet it is at the “Old Cinema” that my happiest memories remain, for even as a relief pianist it was a privilege indeed to share
the comradeship of men and women whose duty it was to provide the public with its entertainment. Alas! some of them
are no longer with us, yet, among an older race of cinema-goer I cannot think the memory of them will fade.
