Cinema

There were three picture places in the valley that I used, Pontycymer Hall, Top Hall Bleangarw, and the Silver Cinema. Good times.

RE: RE: Cinema

My grandfather was the manager at a cinema in Blaen Garw possibly between 1920 and 1931. I am currently researching his life in the Music Halls and have recently discovered his connection to this area after he retired from the entertainment world. Would you know where I could get information on the cinema he managed? His name was Harry Bentley.

Thank you for any help you could give me.
