THE PARAMOUNT STORY by RICHARD NORMAN

Zoom Talk number 8 's audience enjoyed Richard Norman's presentation about the cinema-building and other exhibition activities of Paramount Pictures in the UK.

After an exploration in photos of the seven lavish, large and luxurious Paramount Theatres built between 1930 and 1937, we enjoyed some vintage video (specially remastered) from John Fernee's collection with a commentary by the late Tony Moss. Information featured the organs of each theatre.

Attendees then enjoyed the regular cinema photos quiz (supplied this time by Elain Harwood) and an extended ‘pub chat’ open discussion.
