Bulawayo is well catered for by the two handsome bioscope theatres
now open there, namely, the "Empire" and "Patersons Popular
Picture Palace." . The Empire, situate on Main Street, and managed
by Mr. Lago Clifford, well known in South African theatrical
circles, is leased from the proprietors by Messrs. Clifford,
Asserjohn, and Co, and is a thoroughly up-to-date and well- equipped
theatre. With a handsome vestibule, of which are situated the bar,
restaurant, and cloak-rooms, the theatre, both by day and night, is
inviting and cosy in appearance, but particularly so when the glow
of the numerous electric lights casts its glamour over it. The red
upholstered seats contrast richly with the blue and gold draping; of
the private boxes and various doorways, and it is not surprising
that the 500 seating capacity is often severely taxed; but, no
matter how crowded, cool comfort is assured by the sliding roof.
The electric current is provided by a private generating set, and a
"Saxonia" machine projects a fine picture over a 95 ft. throw.
Except when the boards are occupied by a theatrical company, picture
shows are given every night, including Sunday, and a matinee on
Saturday afternoons. In addition to the theatre, a roller rink
alongside enables Mr. Clifford to meet the more strenuous wishes of
his patrons, and, all round, the Bulawayo public can have no cause
for complaint that amusements are lacking while the "Empire" stands.
Mr. W. R. Paterson, at the "Popular Picture Palace," provides that
test of keen competition for public patronage which stimulates
continuous improvement, and ensures the provision of "the best" to
the public benefit. Larger than the Empire, the Palace can seat 800,
and is equally well equipped to meet all the requirements of a full
theatrical company. The 110-volt generators provde an abundance of
light, and a " Butcher No. 12 " throws a 20 ft. picture over the 85
ft. from lens to screen. In addition to pictures, Mr. Paterson
constantly supplies attractive vaudeville turns, and full companies,
as occasion permits. At the time of my visit, various improvements
were under way and others being considered, while arrangements were
being made for an entire change of pictures every evening of the
week, a project which, if effected, would undoubtedly tax the
resources of all the film-hiring agencies of the Rand . In addition
to the Bulawayo Palace, Mr. Paterson is proprietor of the Palace in
Salisbury, where competition is of the keenest, and he deserves and
receives a full measure of public support at both places.
Gatooma, a small town of some 400-500 people, on the the
Bulawayo-Salisbury railway line, has also Its bioscope theatre, and
I was fortunate in meeting the proprietor, Mr. Dixon, in the train.
The "Rose bioscope," despite many difficulties, is reported on
cheerfully as doing "very good business." The town residents afford
a liberal support during the week, and at week-ends the influx from
the mining properties in the district crowds the little theatre to
the doors. Once again an "Empire No. 12" holds sway, and electric
current is provided from a generator on the adjacent premises of an
engineering firm.
Umtali, 170 miles down the Salisbury-Beira line, has a show provided
at the Cecil Hotel, at present worked by a gas plant, pending the
arrival and installation of an electrical equipment, which, I
understand, is now en route. Here, also, Messrs. Butcher's installed
their machine, and there can be no doubt that it must pay
manufacturers to have "live " agents in South Africa.
At Penhalonga, Mr. H. Perrem has closed down his show, pending the
arrival of his electric outfit, which he anticipates will be working
early in December.
Far North, in the heart of what, but a few years ago, was "Darkest
Africa," Mr. N. George exhibits 8,000 ft. of film per week to the
residents of Elizabethville, Karauga, Belgian Congo, and, I am
advised, has no cause to regret his enterprise.
Salisbury the capital of Rhodesia, with a population of about 4,000,
has no less than four bioscopes shows in keen competition for public
support. Chief among them is the Palace Theatre, not yet fully
completed the property of Mr. Paterson, of Bulawayo. With a seating
capacity of 800, and, as at Bulawayo, fully equipped for the
accommodation of full theatrical companies, and with a bar and tea
lounge attached, Mr. Paterson can boast that it is Salisbury's only
"theatre." A Pathe machine, and the silver screen, are here
preferred, and shows—unless a company occupies the boards are given
every night. While incomplete, it is hardly wise to criticise the
appointments, for the leather-upholstered seats on order, which will
oust the present wooden chairs, will in themselves make a vast
difference to the cosy appearance of the theatre.
The Market Hall Bioscope is also in a transition stage, the work of
redecoration having just begun, but the proprietary syndicate pins
its faith to showing the finest pictures in the town, and the public
largely endorses the view.
The Posada Rink and Bioscope is under canvas which has seen its best
days, and was. I am informed. the first show in the town, when fancy
prices were obtainable, and handsome profits could be made. The "
Empire No. 12 " here again holds sway, and a very clear, bright
picture is provided, the evening being divided between rinking and
pictures. The probability is that the advent of the rainy
season will necessitate closing down.
