Cinema Palace, Roosendaal, Tens

Since: 23-04-1916
Address: Markt 56, Roosendaal

Out of the seven famous Cinema Palaces that the Netherlands had (the last one closing in 2011), this is the Cinema Palace in Roosendaal (or then spelled Roozendaal, Noord-Brabant) on the far right of this street or Market as it's called. It was one of three cinemas then, the others being Cinema Americain and Cinema Royal. According to this newspaper article from 1916, it all had to do with Roosendaal being so close to Belgium. Before the First World War, people of Roosendaal would go to Antwerpen to go to its big cinemas. During the war, many Belgians from big cities like Antwerp and Brussels fled to the north and many ended up in Roosendaal, apparently craving for cinema, hence the three large cinemas in the rather small town.
The CInema Palace drawed big crowds every single evening, not only because of the program, but also because of its charming explicateur H. v. D. from Amsterdam.

The postcard was stamped in 1933 but the photo must be a lot older as the theater shut down in 1920 after a four year run (perhaps because many of the Belgians had returned home).
A colorised version of this postcard exists, rendering the cinema building in light yellow.

All buildings seem to have been torn down but the dark one third from the right. And the white building across.
