The New Cinema was located on Slievenamon Road and opened in 1924. It regularly advertised in the press from March 1925. Limerick Operatic Society performed here in 1927. Mr Delahunty was proud to announce the first talkie would be screened on 12 January 1930 which was Show Boat. It closed at the end of August 1977 with ‘101 Dalmations’ after 53 years. The site was earmarked for a car showroom. The New was ‘the wan below’ while the Capitol in the town was ‘the wan above.’
