EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 11th of May, 1938, in Leeds, UK. The image showcases the iconic Star Cinema located off York Road during its heyday. This architectural gem represents the art deco style that was prevalent in English architecture during the early 20th century. The main attraction at this cinema on that particular day was "The Bride Wore Red" a film starring the legendary Joan Crawford. As we gaze upon this photograph, we can almost feel the excitement and anticipation of moviegoers lining up outside, eagerly awaiting their turn to enter this grand establishment. The image captures not only a moment frozen in time but also serves as a window into an era long gone – the thirties. It transports us to a period characterized by elegance and sophistication, where going to the cinema was an event filled with glamour and allure. Preserved by Leeds Library and Information Service for future generations to appreciate, this remarkable snapshot offers us a glimpse into our cultural history. It reminds us of how much has changed over time while celebrating our shared love for storytelling through film. As we admire this photograph from Fine Art Finder's collection curated by Bridgeman Images, let it serve as a reminder of both our past and present fascination with cinema – an enduring art form that continues to captivate audiences worldwide.
