Gaumont by Allen Eyles
From rundown halls to the sumptuous Gaumont Palaces and the huge Gaumont State at Kilburn, the Gaumont circuit had cinemas in most high streets. The name was lost after a merger with the Odeon circuit, but many former Gaumonts are still operating today. Others are now listed buildings put to different uses, such as the New Victoria (an Apollo theatre) and the Troxy Stepney (a bingo hall). This text describes the often turbulent history of the Gaumont cinemas, their methods of operation and the work of their chief architect, W.E. Trent. It includes data on all 400 Gaumont buildings, titles of films given a release in the circuit and numerous illustrations of cinemas and advertising.| SKU | Unavailable |
