Description: | 25th August 1937.
Plaza Cinema had opened on Thursday 17th April 1930, showing 'Spite Marriage' starring Buster Keaton, seating for 727. The cinema was advertised as being 'last word in comfort', with symphony orchestra and soloists, 'for a short time silent films will be shown - equipment will be installed for talking pictures'. On Monday 28th June 1937, the film 'Spy of Napoleon' starring Dolly Haas and Richard Bathelmess was shown. It was to be the last, as the cinema was gutted by fire at 4am Tuesday 29th June, 1937. The outer shell of the cinema was left standing and was used for factory premises. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Plaza Cinema Wellington Road | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
