The lamp star that brought the world of cinema together
Broadway, Cinema...
The cleanest cinema hall I saw is the Broadway cinema hall. The rarity of this cinema where the screen opens twice is pure. There is not a single piece of topi leaf or cigarette butt to be seen here.
The Udupiyali across the yard gave a beautiful look
Started around 1925, the owners belong to the Edman Samarasekara family. Originally the name was said to be Public Hall. Even today this road is known as Broadway Road.
The first thing I watched here was Saravita's movies..Bappa and Balamma took me along in a Vauxhall type car. When the sisters in Sujatawa told me that it was delicious after watching the school scenes, I wanted to see it too. David Asun, the father of a child in the school where Bappa taught, is the person pointing to the seats.
He very respectfully took the tickets for the second row and showed Bappa the seats. David was dressed in a white saree and a white coat with brass buttons. Saravita is a good movie with Joe Abeyvkrama. Songs such as this is our country.
I remember the managers at that time. Mr. Seram and Mr. Ratnapala are not forgotten. Famous sportsman Indika is Seram's father and Gamini is Seram's brother, Seram is a good manager.
Gamini was a colleague of mine and gave us good school views. At that time, 10.30..2.30.6.30 9.30, there are four viewing times. The theaters remain full till the time of Vesak release. The 1030 shows were canceled on weekdays as the children cut school and watched movies. The 9.30 pm shows were canceled due to JVP agitation.
Satsamudra dumb heart Ransalu Dosti Sama
Films like Manushattva could be watched as school shows. He ran to the gallery to take better care and was warded, not without work.
The journey with Attamma to see the four shrines shown in Dambadi was a very happy one.
Attamma never even knew what a movie was.
The four turns were filled with people because Siddasatana showed them. It is a super watt..Karunaratne Abeysekara explains it well.
But Attamma who saw the love scenes in Al Am Perera's comedy as well as love story
I remember shouting that what kind of money is this, are they not ashamed? But when Al Am Perera was disappointed and went away, the worshipers including Attamma gave sadhukaras, making the whole hall laugh. I looked four times for Lester's eyes. I took my mother to see this.
When Sriani Amarasena, a blind young woman, was taken to Osowa by Joe Abewkrama, the mother asked her son if it was really a married couple.
Sister, no, that's how to act. When I said, mother said that it's not right to get married, son.
Geet films, which were shown at the Ritz cinema hall for two consecutive years, came second to the Broadway hall.
When I saw these movies that were left full of people, I thought that the people of the world are so stupid.
There is no important story but beautiful poems.
Once we are young, Broadway is a love affair. Looking around for the thief, we ran to the balcony and took the picture paper to cover our faces. She is an eyewitness to fake couples and casual relationships. They are still secret.
I still remember the taste of ice chocs on the balcony.
Today, the Broadway Cinema is a supermarket.
The cycle shed where we parked our cycles
Another building. More than fifty movies have been watched here. The Broadway theater has been relegated to the past with many memorabilia.
How many thousands of warm kisses must have been exchanged here
