The movie seen being watched in The Picture Playhouse, in the beginging of the movie “Carry on Camping” was “Nudist Paradise”. The cinema was also seen in the movie “Prudence and the pill”.
The Everyman Gerrards Cross is open again and showing movies. It reopened on 23rd October 2015.
I have done some research and can confirm that this building is the oldest functioning cinema in Buckinghamshire. The second closest is the Astra in Halton (which opened a mere 4 months later in January 1926). The previous cinemas in the area have all been closed down.
I used Martin Tapsell’s Memories of Buckinghamshire’s Picture Palaces and this website for researching.
The ODEON closed on Thursday 6th August. It has been sold to the Everyman chain, who take over 10th August 2015. The building will be closed until at least early October for refurbishment, with an estimated turnaround time of 2-3 months.
I am presently a manager at the Odeon and would be interested in any pictures of the building from its heyday, especially interior shots. We have some pictures from it’s claim to fame in Carry On Camping. First time I’ve seen a picture of it as an Essoldo!
Thanks
