Savoy Cinema Memories - Frozen in Time - Cinema from 1927 - Exploring an Abandoned Movie Theater
A look at the old Savoy Cinema building in Newcastle under Lyme. Filmed August 2014.
The Savoy Cinema (originally called the Kings Hall) was Newcastle’s first ever purpose-built picture house and opened on the 10th of February 1910 with a three part epic adventure movie called Monte Cristo. In 1913 the Kings Hall was considered to be the most luxurious cinema in the whole of the Midlands and also the largest it could host over 1000 people for film screenings.
The entrance to the Cinema was via a arcade 13 feet wide and 100 feet long and once inside it comprised of two tiers, the lower tier had a feeling of extra luxury as 300 of the seats were gold coloured tip up style. In 1927 under owner A.S. Hine renovations to the Cinema were completed and the projection equipment was brought right up to date. Mr. Hine then renamed the Kings Hall as the Savoy Cinema and re-opened it on Monday 28th February 1927.
In the 1930s the Savoy became part of the ABC (associated British Picture Corporation LTD) but later closed in 1964 and became a Bingo Hall. But in 1973 students of local high School Called the Edward Orme School organised a petition and got over 4,000 signatures to get the Cinema reopened. Seeing the local demand for a Cinema promoted the owners of the Savoy to use part of the building for a new 200 seater studio cinema at a cost of £55,000. The new smaller version of the Savoy was opened in December 1975. During the 1980s the cinema’s attendance struggled due to the rise of home video and eventually closed in the early 1990s.
Newcastle-under-Lyme is a market town in Staffordshire, England, and is the principal settlement in the Borough of Newcastle-under-Lyme. It is part of North Staffordshire. In the 2011 census the town had a population of 75,125. The Newcastle part of the name derives from being the location of a new castle in the 12th century. The Lyme section could refer to the Lyme Brook or the extensive Forest of Lyme that covered the area with lime trees in the Middle Ages. The well-known Berlin street Unter den Linden is a cognate of 'under-Lyme'

Douglas Reeve - Rule, Britannia
DOUGLAS REEVE was Brighton's famous broadcasting organist. In his home town, he was known as Mr Music and in the organ world as Mr Brighton. His bright style - particularly when it came to rhythm - was known internationally and, in fact, one of his first albums, Brighton Brassy (1967), was issued in the United States.
A real Brightonian, Reeve was born in the Lanes, in 1918. His potential as a musician was spotted at an early age and piano tuition was arranged. Aged 14, Reeve was appointed Assistant to H.G. Goddard at the Savoy Cinema in Brighton, and while there was spotted by the BBC staff organist Reginald Foort when visiting the Regent cinema in the town.
Reeve was immediately engaged as a Wonder Boy Organist. Dressed in an Eton collar and what he described as a bumfreezer jacket, Reeve toured the UK for County Cinemas.
Theatres he visited included the Regals at Golders Green, Canterbury, Wimbledon and Hull, the Ritzes at Nottingham and Southend; the Empire Aldershot, and the Majestic and Capitol at Wembley. From the beginning of 1936, he played for variety acts at the Regal and Orpheum cinemas in Golders Green, sometimes appearing at the organ in a solo spot.
He accompanied artists such as Albert Sandler, Leslie Hutch Hutchinson, Macari and His Dutch Serenaders, Mario Harp Lorenzi, the illusionist Maskelyne, Les Allen, the impressionist Beryl Orde, Norman Evans (Over the Garden Wall), Clapham and Dwyer, Harry Hemsley, Hughie Green, the xylophonist Teddy Brown, Nellie Wallace, Joe Loss and Flotsam and Jetsam.
From the end of 1938, variety ceased at both theatres and Reeve performed organ interludes up to the outbreak of the Second World War, following which he spent a short spell as a manager for County Cinemas. In 1940 he joined the Army and later that year, by candlelight (there was a power cut), married a singer, and the youngest member of the ATS, Joyce Jackson.
Invalided from the Army in 1941, Reeve returned to Brighton and, aware that the superb dual-purpose organ at the Dome concert hall was not getting much use, he approached the authorities with the idea of playing it for dancing, as the Dome had been converted into a dance hall for the local forces. His idea was so successful and Reeve was so popular, that he was appointed Borough Organist, a position he held for more than 50 years.
His name soon became synonymous with that of the Dome. There was not a seat to spare at his Pack Up Your Troubles concerts and he was the high spot in the weekly Tuesday at the Dome variety shows. The latter ran for 1,600 performances and earned Reeve a place in the Guinness Book of Records.
There was an unwritten rule that, whatever you were staging at the Dome, you included Reeve in your advertised programme if you wanted a capacity house. The Dome is attached to Brighton Pavilion and was once the Prince Regent's riding stables - Reeve joked that he had a job in a stable and the work kept piling up.
In the 1950s, Reeve was appointed manager of the Dome and Corn Exchange for Brighton Corporation, and in 1977 he became Assistant Director of the Resort and Conference Department at Brighton; in effect, being responsible for all indoor entertainment in the town. Finding that he had little time for his music, he retired from that position in 1979, but continued as Borough Organist and producer of Tuesday at the Dome.
Throughout his life, Reeve was a prolific broadcaster. He made his first broadcast at the age of 18, in 1937, at the BBC theatre organ in St George's Hall and treasured a letter from Reginald Foort congratulating him on his performance: You really played like an old hand and everybody here was delighted. Reeve was adept at introducing his own programmes, and he performed a series of these on Sunday mornings on Radio 2 from the BBC Theatre Organ (Mark III) at the Playhouse Manchester.
His wit, sense of humour and charm endeared him to his audiences, with whom he had an excellent repartee. At the close of one of his Pack Up Your Troubles concerts, his audience would not let him go. He retorted, You don't half want a lot for sixpence!
He leaves a host of recordings (mostly at the Dome but some at the Worthing Wurlitzer with which he had an association in recent years) and a tremendous contribution to light music. For some years, he was the President of the Cinema Organ Society.
Douglas Reeve died in Brighton on 18 July 1999.

City of Nottingham - Nottinghamshire (UK) 2015
Nottingham
is a city in the ceremonial county of Nottinghamshire in the East Midlands of England.
Nottingham is known for its links to the legend of Robin Hood and for its lace-making, bicycle and tobacco industries. It was granted its city charter in 1897 as part of Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee celebrations.
In 2013, Nottingham had an estimated population of 310,837[5][6][7][8] with the wider urban area, which includes many of the city's suburbs, having a population of 729,977. The population of the Nottingham/Derby metropolitan area is estimated to be 1,543,000.[3]
Nottingham is a popular tourist destination; in 2011, visitors spent over £1.5 billion - the sixth highest amount in England.[9]
Culturally, there are two large-capacity theatres, numerous museums and art galleries, the Broadway Cinema, the Savoy Cinema, Nottingham and several live music venues, including the Nottingham Arena and Rock City, both of which regularly host major UK and international artists. The city also hosts two music festivals annually - Dot to Dot, which takes place in various city centre venues over the course of a weekend every May, and Splendour, in Wollaton Park each July.
Nottingham has an award-winning public transport system,[10] including the largest publicly owned bus network in England[11] and is also served by Nottingham railway station and the modern Nottingham Express Transit tram system, the second line of which is due to open in 2015. East Midlands Airport is 13 miles (21 km) south-west of the city.
