  It is very impressive indeed and I am so pleased that they have restored it. It looks even better then I remember it. I saw many excellent films at the Tyneside and we used to sit for hours watching the newsreels when in its previous form it was the News Theatre. In the 50s when TV was an expensive luxury it was the only way we could “see” the news as opposed to reading it in the newspapers.
