EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this historical print of an advertisement for the Empire Cinema in Derby. Dating back to 1925, this advert showcases the charm and nostalgia of the roaring twenties. The Empire Cinema was known as "The House that is Different," under the proprietorship of Edgar Duckworth and managed by Jos. Ferguson.
With continuous performances daily from 2:30 to 10:30, movie-goers could enjoy a change of program every Monday and Thursday. Prices of admission ranged from just 5 pennies in the Stalls to 1 shilling and sixpence in the Circle, making it an affordable outing for all.
One can imagine the grand orchestra performing both afternoons and evenings, adding to the magical atmosphere of this historic cinema. The detailed information on this advertisement gives us a glimpse into a bygone era when going to the movies was a special event.
This print captures not only a piece of cinema history but also reflects on how times have changed since then. It serves as a reminder of simpler times when entertainment was enjoyed without modern-day distractions. A true gem for any history enthusiast or lover of vintage advertisements.
