Ritz Cinema

During the late 1960s and early 70s I was an assistant manager with ABC. I undertook several relief management stints at the Ritz Edinburgh. Although the stalls had received the “luxury lounge” upgrade so popular at that time, the circle at the Ritz remained open. Indeed, it was usually more popular than the refurbished stalls, especially with young couples. I can also recall a Saturday morning ABC Minors matinee when the youngsters unscrewed the ashtrays from the backs of the seats in the “lounge” a sure sign that we were showing a boring CFF film.

Here is a 1968 photo:
