More about this scene

The Odeon Cinema is built in a contrasting architectural style - a sort of Art Deco with rendered walls and rusticated ground floor as befits a venue to escape from the everyday. Here the Odeon is showing 'Silver City' starring Randolph Scott and Barbara Britton. Sadly, the Odeon is now no longer a cinema but a furniture warehouse and the ground floor has been much altered.

I remember going here for Saturday morning pictures,good old days and then when I was ateenager going with Margaret McGregor ,who lived in woodnewton way
I went along on Saturday morning. One time, however, the smile was wiped off my face after being introduced to my first Woodbine. A great lesson that lasted until I finally succumbed to smoking properly when I was 18.
