Items related to Silver Screen in the Silver City: History of Cinemas...
In the 1930s Aberdeen spent more on film entertainment than any other city of comparable size in Britain. In 1939 the Silver City had no fewer than nineteen cinemas, serving a population of 175,000. This, the first-ever account of Aberdeen's 'animated photographs' begins in the 1890s and takes the reader from the early picture hall and the opening in 1908 of the Gaiety, Aberdeen's first permanent cinema, through the great silent movies (not forgetting a jam-jar's worth for youngsters at the 'Starrie') to the peak 'talkie' years of the 1930s and 1940s, then to the decline but by no means the disappearance of the Aberdeen cinema industry in the 1960s and onward.
