Library Theatre Film Screenings

[Nagel]

The Library Theatre held film screenings at least into the early 1980's when I last saw a film there. They tended to be art house cinema and I remember seeing 'Eraserhead' and 'Night of the Living Dead' there.

Thanks smanning for dating it. That would make me 7yrs old. I don't remember my parents going with me so I wonder if they dropped me off and picked me up later. Strange how that one film has stuck in my mind after all these years.

I'm sure they were free and I think the tickets were distributed through the schools.

 

I went there a few times early 60's, tickets compliments of Burngreave school. one occasion was the tenth anniversary-1963- of the England-Hungary game at Wembley. Notice I didn't say 'match'.

I went to see Laurence Olivier's Henry V there. It must have been around 1960.

 

One time we went there on a school -Burngreave-assignment, with teachers in attendance. Some thing akin to a particular period in history that was being applied at the time. The film was, I think 'The Robe' and as it started, on the screen was "Twentieth Century Fox presents: Richard Burton... Vic..at this point some wag yelled out "and VICTOR MANURE". We weren't invited back!
