This is amazing. In 1967 to 1970 I was stationed at Kindley Air Force Base in Bermuda. What is now called the Southside Cinema was the base movie theatre operated by the Army/Air Force Motion Picture Service. We, I had a part-time job as theatre manager, used to show movies before they were shown at the two Bermuda “civilian” theatres at the time. The two theatres were the Rosemont and Island (?) both in downtown Hamilton, Bermuda. The Southside looks exactly the same as it did 40 years ago. In fact the glass front was being added when I first arrived there in 1967. There were two carbon arc 35mm projectors in the theatre booth. I had heard that when the Navy took over the base and theatre in 1970 they used 16mm projectors set up in the auditorium. Does that picture bring back memories!
