Opening of Rio Cinema 1939
Two newscuttings from the opening of the Rio Cinema in 1939. One describes the opening by Provost George Rain Little, (provost 1937-1940), when he was presented with an umbrella! (Was this an appropriate gift for a man of his name?!) The other gives details of the opening film that Thursday evening, Sixty Glorious Years, starring Anna Neagle. We are quite sure the cinema would be packed out on that opening night.
