My first job was apprentice projectionist at Odeon Cinema in Hamilton. the place was flattened to accomadate the councils new road. these cinemas should have been listed biuldings. But some university graduate who gets himself a job with the council decides to knock down a beautifull building.
Now we have the multiplex cinemas where there is no usherette to show you to your seat. and when you sit in these places you feel as though your sitting in a cardboard box, no atmosphere,
thank you for sharing this with us. i remember being taken there as a child to see "santa claus - the movie" - its such a shame that so many of scotlands cinemas have a gone thanx to a combination of souless multiplexes and movie downloads. :(
That's a sad ending to the cinema not many of the large grander cinema left in the UK and Scotland now which is either making way for the new multiplexes I only hope they can measure up with high quality picture and sound.
Fascinating video. Thanks for making and posting it.

Sad to see. We lost our 1936 Art Deco Odeon last year (07), to town re-development (St.Austell/Cornwall). Madness!!!
