EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the vibrant streets of Soho, London in the swinging 1960s. The Empire Cinema at Leicester Square stands tall and proud, its neon sign illuminating the night sky. It is June 20th, 1963, and excitement fills the air as people flock to this iconic theater for a night of entertainment. The image captures a moment frozen in time - couples strolling hand in hand, laughter echoing through the streets, and anticipation building for an evening filled with cinematic magic. The neon lights reflect off wet pavements after a light rain shower, adding an extra touch of glamour to this already glamorous scene. As we gaze upon this photograph by Eric Harlow from Memory Lane Prints, we can almost hear the sound of music drifting out from within those grand doors. The Empire Cinema was not just a place to watch movies; it was a cultural hub where dreams came alive on screen. Intriguingly enough, amidst all the hustle and bustle outside the cinema's entrance lies an advertising board showcasing upcoming films. This glimpse into popular culture reminds us that even then, film played a significant role in shaping society's tastes and aspirations. Eric Harlow has masterfully captured both the physical beauty of this historic cinema and its intangible essence - that feeling of excitement and wonder that only comes when stepping foot into such hallowed halls. This print is truly a window into another era – one filled with dancing lights, enchanting stories on celluloid
