George Barber - Cinema Pioneer Stoke on Trent Historical Film DVD
Staffordshire Film Archive describes:
"Made to celebrate the centenary of the opening of the very first cinema in the Potteries – Barber’s Picture Palace in Tunstall.
There’s a history of film shows in the Potteries since 1896 up to the need for special cinema buildings to comply with the Cinema Act of 1909 – George Barber (who went on to become Lord Mayor in 1929-30 – we see him on film) was first, and he went on to have a string of cinemas within and outside this area.
There’s a special feature on his Picture Palace which is being restored in Wolverton. Films made by Barber himself are featured throughout. There are special interviews with his grandson Len Barber (also a Lord Mayor) and great grandson Brian Barber – and people who worked at his cinemas.
Special features on the Picture Palace and The Regent, Tunstall – which went on to become The Golden Torch nightclub."
Produced by Ray Johnson and Staffordshire Film Archive.
