PROGRAMME: Regal Cinema, Beaumaris.

Printed.

Although the start of the history of film is not clearly defined, the commercial, public screening of ten of Lumière brothers' short films in Paris on 28 December 1895 can be regarded as the breakthrough of projected cinematographic motion pictures. There had been earlier cinematographic results and screenings but these lacked either the quality or the momentum that propelled the cinématographe Lumière into a worldwide success. Soon film production companies and studios were established all over the world. The first decade of motion picture saw film moving from a novelty to an established mass entertainment industry. Regal Cinemas is a UK based cinema chain since the early days of the cinema. In 1928, Regal Cinemas became part of Associated British Cinemas but has retained the name 'Regal Cinemas'. Beaumaris was opened some time prior to 1938 with Kalee sound under the ownership of Mr. T. Clarke, seating 340 patrons at prices from 2d to 1/3d with continuous performances. In the late-1940's Paramount Picture Theatres Ltd. had taken over ownership and reduced seating to 320 patrons whilst increasing prices to 1/- to 2/3d. The venue closed in the late1950's and was subsequently demolished.
