An extract from Myra Schneiderman's letter
Early in 1995, Myra Schneiderman (b.1931) saw a request in Mature Tymes for 1930s cinemagoers to get in touch with Cinema Culture in 1930s Britain. This letter is her response. Mrs Schneiderman lived in London in the 1930s, and in her letter she details memories of her earliest visits to the cinema to see ‘suitable’ films; of queueing to get into ‘the pictures’ and what it was like inside the cinema; of the varied items in a cinema programme; of added attractions such as the cinema organ; and of copying fashions from the films. Later in 1995, Mrs Schneiderman took part in CCINTB’s formal questionnaire survey.
