Aberdeen Cinemas: Coliseum / New Kinema / Belmont

This postcard shows the unveiling of the statue of Edward VII in October 1914. An interesting feature in the background is the Belmont Street cinema during its time as the Coliseum. Painted on the roof of the building is "Coliseum, Belmont St". A sign on the south side of the building reads "Dove Paterson Pictures at 6." Paterson was then the proprietor of the cinema and he also produced and exhibited his own films of local events.
