Movie Magic at the Runnymede
Saturday matinees were raucous, but Lois Broad enjoyed going to the Runnymede Theatre during the 1930s and 1940s.
Lois Broad, born in 1927, describes what the Runnymede Theatre was like in the 1930s and ’40s. Saturday matinees may have been raucous, but she remembers the theatre with its atmospheric ceiling as a magical place. This short video is taken from Lois’s documentary Growing up in the Junction.
