About this item
- Content
Cinema screening programmes and schedules for various organisations and institutions in Bahrain:
- cinema programmes for the Public Relations Office in the Persian Gulf’s cinema, dating from November 1944 until December 1946. The programmes are lists, indicating the date and time of screenings, venue and audience (for example: students, girl students, public, policemen). No details of the films shown are given;
- throughout the file, programmes of ‘movies’ scheduled to be shown at the BAPCO (Bahrain Petroleum Company) Club at Awali. The programmes indicate the date and time of screenings, film titles, principal actors, and film production companies. Most of the films are Hollywood productions, with a small number of British-made films also shown. Some films are preceded by newsreels and factual short films. Many film titles indicate subject matter that reflects the era in which they were produced (during and immediately after the Second World War), such as Laurel and Hardy’s Air Raid Wardens and a short screened in February 1946 entitled What to do with Germany ;
- a single programme, dated September 1946, for the station cinema at the Royal Air Force (RAF) base at Muharraq (f 49).
Interspersed with the programmes is a small amount of correspondence (from the BAPCO Club, the Naval Officer in Charge at Bahrain, RAF Bahrain) relating to cinema screenings and programmes.
