On Monday last Ipswich’s new kinema, the Regent, was opened by the Mayor of the borough (Dr. J. F. C. Hossack). A. E. Newbould, P.C.T.’s publicity manager, welcomed the Mayor.
The Mayor, in declaring the theatre open, said that it was owned by a British company, it was designed by a British architect, and built by British labour, and lie hoped that the management would exhibit a good proportion of British films.

About
My wife, bless her tells me that I am rapidly becoming, or perhaps that should read have become a “Grumpy old fart”, so what better forum to spread my doom, gloom and paranoia than WordPress. I also have a love of old pictures, postcards and Edwardian Actresses, in particular Miss Gabrielle Ray which I hope to share at regular intervals. As my collection has grown I have set up another blog which contains only pictures of Miss Ray. Gabrielle Ray Thank you for viewing and comments are welcome.
