Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Premier Electric 100th Anniversary - Help Needed
Hi Hugh,
I think I mentioned to you some while back that the former Premier Cinema in Frobisher Road celebrates the 100th anniversary of it's opening on April 16th this year, and I feel the event ought to be celebrated. I have in mind showing a film (on DVD) on the nearest Saturday which would be April 17th. A possible film would be "The Smallest Show on Earth" because it concerns an old fleapit cinema (it was shown on the 90th anniversary in 2000). The church has a screen and maybe they have a DVD projector which could be used.
Do you think this would be a good idea? I am rather tied up at the moment finishing the Haringey Cinemas book so can't devote much time to it. Is there anybody else around who might do some of the organising?
Of course, the Church may not be at all interested in letting someone show a film, I haven't asked them yet, and if they are interested they may want a huge hire fee! I could make the initial approach to them if you like...
Perhaps you could let me know your views...or float it on Harringay Online for discussion?
Best wishes
Jeremy Buck
What do you think? Fancy coming along? Fancy helping Jeremy to organise?

Sorry I should have said. There was an advert for the Gardens (but not mentioning films) in another issue of the Weekly Herald or Hornsey Journal, I forget which year, and it said that they were situated "next to the Queens Head".

I've just checked with Jeremy and he's had no response from the church's Tottenham office.
Does anyone care enough for it to be worth my while pursuing this with them?

Hugh. It's a great idea to celebrate the 100th anniversary of this cinema. Good luck dealing with the 'church'.
