Glasgow’s Renfield Street Odeon ran Christmas Tree present appeals in the late 40s. Here’s a peek at two lovely hand-made press books documenting these. Originally a Paramount, the US studio sold its UK cinemas to Odeon during WWII for fear of losing them to enemy invasion!

95 years ago, the Glen Cinema disaster in Paisley claimed 71 young lives in a tragic stampede caused by panic over a smoking film canister. This tragedy reshaped safety laws, ensuring doors open outward & public spaces are safer. We remember the lives lost. #GlenCinema #Paisley

What movies do you remember seeing at the Kelburn? A lovely view of Sherwood Church, a Gothic revival gem in Paisley since the 19th century, alongside the Kelburn Cinema—a beloved spot for film lovers. In the foreground, the cosy Sherwood Café.

The rooftop space was originally the cafe, winter garden and tea lounge of the Arabic-inspired Salon Cinema, opened in 1913, and attributed to architect Thomas Baird Jr. The building was later overclad to become the Lumley House sports shop.

Lost Glasgow AmCam Fragments of the original decorative scheme were intact above suspended ceilings in Rooftops when we surveyed the building for ScottishCinemas.org in 2007ish, including moorish style archways mirroring details of those on the original facade. scottishcinemas.org.uk/glasgow/salon/…

#UrbanExploration in #Glasgow: I was lucky enough to get inside Tusk / The Waverley Tea Rooms in Shawlands. Interesting to see that the good Watson, Salmond & Gray classical plasterwork interior of 1922 largely survives behind the “Temple of Doom”-like box built for Tusk 👀👇🥰!

A shot from Thursday night. The Citizens Theatre new frontage due to re-open soon.

An odd question, is there such thing as a cinemas critic? Not a critic of films or cinema but a critic who focuses on the cinemas themselves from their ambiance, decor & comfort to their technical & programming quality. Wanna know if so and if not, would love to fill that void!
