Photo added:The Front of House of the Savoy is prominent in this 1930 image of what I assume to be ‘Shrove Tuesday Football’, an annual event which ceased two years later in 1932. The films showing are ‘The Unholy Three’ (Lon Chaney) and ‘The Richest Man in the World’(Louis Mann, Robert Montgomery).
