EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 1930s, immersing us in the world of cinema at the Commodore Cinema in Orpington, Kent. The image showcases a group of smartly dressed staff members proudly donning their uniforms, ready to provide exceptional service to moviegoers. The atmosphere is reminiscent of an era between the wars, with its monochrome aesthetic capturing a sense of nostalgia. Floral decorations by Norman Leslie add a touch of elegance and charm to this snapshot from 1933. In this picture, we see valets and attendants standing side by side with great poise. Their expressions exude professionalism and dedication as they fulfill their roles within the bustling theater environment. Amongst them are men and boys who contribute to creating a seamless experience for every visitor. Photographer John Topham skillfully captures not only the individuals but also the spirit of camaraderie that must have existed among these staff members. This photograph serves as a testament to their commitment in providing top-notch customer service during an era when going to the movies was considered a special occasion. As we gaze upon this historical gem, it transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate both the artistry behind early advertising techniques and those unsung heroes who worked tirelessly behind-the-scenes at cinemas like Commodore Theatre.
