A black and white photograph of the Theatre Royal. The main sign over the door says 'Glenn Ford in Blackboard Jungle'. It also has posters for the Dublin International Festival of Music and Arts on the side.
This is a photograph of the Theatre Royal, with its striking Art Deco facade and a Moorish-inspired interior. It was the largest cinema in Dublin, with an auditorium that housed 3,800 people. The International Festival of Music and the Arts is being advertised, and Blackboard Jungle is showing. The Royal had a resident 25-piece orchestra and its own dance troupe, the Royalettes. Judy Garland played here in 1951.
