Description

 

Glasgow really was cinema city when the Paramount in Renfield Street screened the Bing Crosby romantic comedy She Loves Me Not in 1934.

Designed by the London architectural practice of Verity and Beverley, the Art Deco venue had opened on Hogmanay 1933 34, and film mad Glaswegians had never seen anything like it.

In the 1930s Glasgow boasted over 110 cinemas and a total seating capacity in excess of 175,000. That was more cinemas per head than any other city in the world. By the 1950s, Govan alone had nine cinemas, one more than the city of Aberdeen, which had twice Govan’s population. Mind you, when many of the city’s 1m plus population were crammed into often-overcrowded and cold and draughty tenement flats, the city’s cinemas provided a degree of privacy, in centrally-heated comfort
