There was a time in Edinburgh's history when it seemed there was a cinema on every corner.
The Ritz on Rodney Street opened in 1929, as Scotland’s first cinema purpose built for the talkies, first showing Al Jolson in The Singing Fool.
The theatre operated successfully over the next 50 years, with the Canonmills venue finally closing its doors in November 1981 - showing The Exorcist II and the original Mad Max.
