Monifieth`s
home of the movie picture show. The Alhambra was not the first cinema
to entertain the local residents with the magic of moving pictures.
There had been others, however, it is most likely that today`s `native
villagers` will fondly recall the `fleapit`.
The site of the building is now occupied by the petrol filling station,
which replaced the Alhambra Garage, successor of the picture house.
In 1936 the manager was Mr R. Wood, Jun. , who could
be contacted by telephoning Monifieth13.
Coming attractions at the Alhambra for May 1936
were;
In Town Tonight, West of the Pecos, Casino Murder
Case
Cardinal Richelieu, Wedding Night, Trunk Mystery
Silver Streak, Roberta, Vagabond Lady,
Call of the Wild, Mark of the Vampire, West Point of the Air.
Quite a varied programme considering that the stage was also used
for Drama Productions.
Monifieth Ranger and Rover Dramatic Society presented `Marigold`
an Arcadian Comedy in three acts, by L.Allen Harker and F.H. Pryor,
on Friday and Saturday 24th and 25th April 1936 at 7. 30 pm. There
was also a matinee on Saturday 25th April at
2.30 pm.. This was preceded by previous productions by the group,
namely `Nettles`, `Jackets`, `Glensheugh`, `Call of the Glen`.
