        The Cas...

        Casino in Finglas - photo taken for RTE's Newsbeat program on 16th September 1967... closed in 1970 (?) when Superquinn expanded...

        Think 'Zulu' was the first film I saw there....

              When it was a News & Cartoon Cinema I went to see The British Pathe Film of the Beatles.Being a fanatical Beatles fan I just wanted to see them " In Concert "

              I tnink it ran for about 3 or 4 minutes.It was a real " con job " The Cinema was packed with Beatle Fans expecting a lot more including young innocent me.

                  I remember........

                  When you walked into the cinema, which was narrow, there was about 6 rows of seats on the left hand side for about 20 ft and nothing but a wall on the right.....these rows had about 8 seats each, and all the courting couples made a b-line for them.

                    The New Electric, Talbot St (at the bridge), known to all as The Leck. It later became for a short time the cinerama theatre.... the Fiesta Club, and it had various other resurrections before being demolished.

                                The Kenilworth in Harolds Cross which became The Classic. It showed the Rocky Horror Show for years. It's now a patch of waste ground
