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.

              1956 George's Street Arcade
              IE LMOD 613 · Item · Twentieth Century

              A black and white photograph of inside George's Arcade showing shop fronts and two cars parked inside.

              The George’s Street Arcade was the first purpose-built shopping centre in Dublin. The current building dates from 1894, after the original was destroyed in a fire. The market was initially unpopular with Dubliners, as neither local architects nor builders were employed, and no Dublin dignitaries were invited to the opening ceremony. A wave of public sympathy for the stallholders followed the fire, and part of the rebuilding costs were paid for by public subscription. Today, fortune tellers, record shops and body piercing studios have taken the place of electrical factors and paper shops. (It remains home to one of Dublin’s great literary retreats, Stokes Books.)

              1950s Elephant Rides in Dublin Zoo
              IE LMOD 610 · Item · Twentieth Century

              A black and white photo of children queuing to ride an elephant with a number of children already on top.

              Dublin Zoo opened in 1831, with 46 mammals and 72 birds donated by London Zoo. In 1840 the zoo made the radical decision to charge only a penny for entry on Sundays, thus endearing itself to many Dubliners. One of the best-loved zoo-keepers was Jimmy Kenny, who oversaw elephant rides in the 1950s and 1960s. Jimmy was the father of Pat Kenny, one of Ireland’s most famous broadcasters. Elephant rides are a thing of the past now, of course.
