Abstract: | Years ago I remember being depressed by frequent reports of British cinemas closing down and being converted into bingo halls, supermarkets or whatever. The year under review saw the partial loss of one of the two surviving large cinemas in Valletta, the Coliseum Theatre, and the total loss of the Savoy 1 Theatre. Equipped to screen 70 mm spectaculars, the auditorium of the Coliseum was reduced to a mere fraction of its previous size and the remaining space was converted into a shopping arcade. At time of writing the Savoy 1 Theatre has already been closed for some months and in its case it will be completely converted into a shopping arcade. [excerpt] |
