Gala Opening Programme for the New
Empire Theatre 1962.
Of course this was when the theatre, already in use as a cinema, was gutted and rebuilt as a cinema proper, but it is non the less interesting for that. In the feature there are many articles, pictures, and original programmes for the Empire in all its guises. President of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Inc. on the opening of the new Empire Theatre For more information on The Empire Theatre in general including the opening night programme for 17th April 1884 Click here...
Since the inception of our company, M-G-M has always had a special interest in the British market. The British studios at Boreham Wood, where many of our finest pictures have been made and are being made today, and the Empire Theatre as the M-G-M flagship in the United Kingdom have played an immeasurably vital part in the success of our global organisation.
The laying of the cornerstone of the new Empire literally cements the splendid relations between M-G-M and its London enterprises. As was the old Empire one of the city's memorable landmarks so will the new Empire stand as a cinema of which both Londoners and M-G-M may be proud. President of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Inc.
