Because the ships I mean. I don't know many projectionist of going through below driving on of the moment yeah Well clearly there's the constant footfall you know where it's still how much all the show screens is gone with the way mazing I suppose visitors and tourists. See if. You know. Yes yes another film in which Liverpool is mentioned you mentioned in so many Hollywood films and it's not because Liverpool with but it wasn't mentioned in Titanic it's supposed to be well aware it's registered in a lot of the boats and you know yeah. Yeah you know yeah. But it. Was actually did all kinds of film you know sometimes suspicion with a lot of my tree but all the film you know most of them was not the longest.

She looks amazing that great of taking pictures and I don't think that I want you don't think Joan chose to work because she was a glamorous lady and because the movies you know were. But she looks as though she's going down the right road she was she she would have been in the movie really could have this beautiful sister was there as well you know she was the secretary to the managing the seaman sisters both works there and she 15 francs Atlanta Yeah I think it was a 3rd of the follow the crying and the Goldbach Gengel is yeah was lovely that little chaos go she will grow she's got on there looks like those she brought me home she looks about 20.

Never came up to visit years Michael saying the box as we called it so it could have a local look in the assumes the time what was actually them they got what. They know what cumbersome You know what So I don't I am much into little weenie tiny of the same with just a little class FISA law and you know there's a little mission required Johnnie's projection it was a way into healthy places to work in because they were hot and they could be dangerous because the film could go on fire. So did you have like a fire buckets handy things like amazingly to use the inflammable for them was done away with but the if you're if you're running films all day you know much in the heat Yes I mean we have surely about 88 b. 10 in joeys you've got this window. You don't say so you don't see anybody you don't see anything you can't see out. Your case you Leon truce with you you know. It is on the way although you're doing the roof Well if you're going to look you know park road it is doesn't look like it's Does somebody just talk road I just thought is that care if you can see the k. Of little dissing of the ability on the front of the building where he's let you know what he says and he can see which cabin round saying that some nation is not one of these within the boundaries Yes. These already have. One percent Oh that's tremendous Well the building on the left Yeah the 2nd one all worth the railway station the overhead railway was this yeah because that's where the overhead railway for a living thing. Learned to entrust in that photo is not one solitary car industry has just. Led to the Chofetz And yes I mean Charlie because he passed away suddenly. And I've known him for a long long time because he worked with me labor drawl. Well it's about 22 minutes and that when that when that close assume the money went to being gone. Charlie came to the a patrolman was down the road because the chief Chief projectionist was retiring and Charlie got the job. And I was there when you want to know right away happy days yeah did you know most people from most cinemas my oh yeah it was like bush telegraph was it was yours and your wall managers when you're Joe Millionaire mom and we had no we email a early at from my can chill wall and he asked yes on the e-mail it's you know the name of the cinema that was next to the ice rink in Cannes and some what it was called It was a con casino It was called the casino. And he also wants to know. Because when it when they closed down as a cinema it was talk frank yes hope he was the barman They all right and he said the caretaker who wicks in the cinema States on a lot of them did and his name was Charlie Benson Yes are you Charlie you lived in Albert Edward road. Kensington he said when he last Mike did you know Charlie yes and because he was a wonderful woman the former well before he went there he was projectionist at the Savoy Westoby road behind the Hippodrome tennis Yeah so we are it is a small Wales but it's amazing how people from one cinema knew that if you go from the old the limo Yeah you could have imagined it to have been a competition rare rarely to get you know we saw we were a little bit like this going to mean for the whole Different lot of the more different companies I mean the likes of the casino and Prince he's part we were fortunate because they all belong to j. Arthur Rank right. Through all those when I was an a.b.c. Or Oh no. But we knew everybody was in them. Sometimes on our day off we go and visit because we didn't know what equipment was in their faith or well that well we've never seen your equipment can we can we see yours yeah. Yeah it was a band of brothers rather than yeah right I thought you were a fascination I old when you look at what's been up with you this way you've got to be chilled to the end of the equipment's it was as you say in the thing was we all got the job we wanted when we left school working in the movies. That's what we want to change did you one say when you came here that you saw used to me saw oh yeah and then it went smaller and smaller give me a letter we lost when people were passing away well we still do it now. You know where we are years old projectionist from the old you really we wanted some fascinating glimpse into another part of our Yeah yeah into a vanished while there we are going our complete. Thank you treat those folks here. Your voice your story I would never happen computer color had to go. Up. Who taught you I long for most. People. Who go to the library I'm not blue in the computer but I could I could write my friend. But. With me want to Philip's week days 12 into. The conversation things in the b.b.c. Radio. Play. A. Long and. Mary's Parag Malkan Michael real heroes are in cinema projectionists and the case to go cooler is well. A lot of the life in itself is so because it's see you notes with people whereas you've been used to be in the mine in the dark in the projection room but as we've probably brought those only role between the you know what would be talk in Hong dreads of projectionists. While well. Just just just concentrate on Liverpool in 1959 when I started with rank. There was there was $69.00 cinemas operating on me as he sighed and how many projects on an average you'd have 40 in each rise so in Liverpool alone you've used talking for nearly maybe 5 years that project and you'd probably have a few trainees as well yes Prince he says and that's before you go to all the other districts in the eyes he said oh yeah that's just Liverpool alone now those 59 of those $6065.00 cinemas were all showing double billed programmes they were all different they were all 2 features on the bill plus a cartoon of the short and the newsreel Yes So you were in that cinema for 4 hours yes. Amazing star machinery of course to get only hours in most of the most of all projection if we worked on the shift system there's a full front page of the echo here from a very long time so I've got one of them and it's the cinema and x. In alphabetical order and she's 50 just takes up the entire front page and it sells humans and we've got the think this how many cinemas in Liverpool and if you look at Liverpool had 83 Birkin had and presumably that you know the rest of we're all had 32 so 115 was just in the city where a little then if you go Mosey why then to all the yeah the districts of North Wales as well so must be in thousands of actually employed in the cinema hall going to stand Yeah but when you look that was the only way you have of knowing what was a home oh yeah because you could go on the Internet you couldn't ring go no you just have to go some of the shops other poster in the window yet you. Didn't get the echo Yeah go and look yeah no Linda if you look at that man it's such small you've got I'm glad I saw printers and I didn't know well I'm just landing sort of at random on places and for instance where we go or go mom and has in 1953 was showing Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis in Scared Stiff. Yeah. You know me Elaine showed him a lane Let's go Celeste that awful bus that. That was showing. Flame of our of with Maureen O'Hara. Appointment in was the it was the competence the poet Phil as well oh on the victory it will grow the volume Walton wrote. 3 Yeah I want to use the maybe yeah that was showing everything I have is yours. March and gala champion vast the the movie was spoilers of the playing and what was the Says she sent to show live the life of the show do you know the fall of the oh yeah. Well the Odeon Crosby actually was showing Alice to Simone Ronnell China in a sense in Paris. In town it was showing and Leo Jan again in the red beret. Wound Gene Autry in Wacken team wow yeah. The queen's Well it was all around with all the oh yeah because you're paying for this call I'm. Always at the Queen with. The queen's Queen's snows of Kilimanjaro was. First of all the show she had it's not. That we've saved. Anywhere play a moment of the you only don't think oh no I'm didn't come out and. This is. Going to do that for me to go through. All this out many you know yeah I don't believe it when you look at that and see what was the child like and 115 just live a little I think that's a true. Hippodrome the Hippodrome me the Hippodrome. I'm looking under a chair for the Hippodrome was showing the naked. So what it was this 1953. People ones about Sally's Well no no no no no that's not the only light it was a working man's. You know it was still go in them wasn't as yeah. There was a validation Yes 3 Yeah oh so that yeah yeah well I went whole that's where I when I went to the Vic to buy 2 from school to see the car and then on the strain on the screen yes I know some people the few stops you get and see how you get but that's only if he did ask because that's all the common. I am. 1953 was the the year that from here to eternity launched Frank Sinatra ferric about a year after he'd been to the Liverpool Empire allow when there was hardly anybody in to see him and he walked off to the sound of his own footsteps virtually and he did say didn't he at the stage door when I come back this this because he's already figured out already done enough below both ways it'll really be out there there's a picture of him on that evening in management pulled. Well that was the thing before he went completely global Of course the majority of those are the most did not have a widescreen because Cinema Scope but never had an import in it Don't have been invented in 53 I mean never they didn't all guess you were just looking at say picture of one of the old projects and in itself it looks like their movie cameras that you see that they're still use the Panavision Yeah you know movie hours that you still film with the sari Housefull sign that you probably didn't hear of that and also on the board the listing is as it was on the night of the ground opening of the Ritz Birkenhead it's. Showing Miss Gracie Fields appearing at the cinema she was nearly as she was the guest of honor opening because a member of the Russian said Miss star of stage and screen Miss Gracie films with the usually open on all. The years that I have I believe that. Thousands and she came out onto the balcony and sang Sally to the crowd spoken if the roof of the respect in hand yeah she came out and sang Sally to the crowd and she was the guest of honor because I'll just mention while we're on the subject of the. When we close the Ritz many years later from being go on the ferry last night after I called the last game and it was packed you know for the final my Before we moved to the new premises the new cool Macca on the last night I don't know this missile from the month off said that's fine and I played great seafood and sing consolingly as the last record before the call close on to go out some said. Can outside your life get all that the women sent a member watching to sing and I said well for the very last Simon's this lovely building closes for the very last time let's close it the way it open and we played Zali and do mostly touch them this year the at the very sort of past everybody by yeah. Well yeah because I sense Alas it into the into the globe but Ritz memories only recently might knows and makes them follow just reminiscing about the Ritz unsane what great place it wasn't happy days in the law . On the 4th of October 19th as he sat on. A member of the number one of the yokels committee don't know how so you know Also your lesson about the Ritz market was a lovely lesson law but one particular person says a lot of so if you did you realize something so what was that should the will gloat the focus that they should when it went in on the fault of October 27th St So it was exactly. The day when I was referring to the Falls look so work when the road into his salvation is not complete poetic justice. Talking of which it was a talking of 80 years old that down in the comic was.
