"In the Modern Theatre — Machinery rules." DIRECTORS: E. A. STONE, F.S.I. , Chairman A. SEGAL, Managing Director J. C. CLAVERING ALBERT LESSER ARTHUR LESSER HENRY LESSER GENERAL MANAGER: CHARLES PENLEY SECRETARY: H. T. RICHARDSON ARCHITECT: E. A. STONE, F.S.I. GENERAL CONTRACTORS: GRIGGS & SON CONSULTING ENGINEER: MAJOR C. H. BELL, O.B.E. INTERNAL DECORATIONS: MARC-HENRI & LAVERDET RESIDENT MANAGER: E. L. DIMMOCK HE FINSBURY PARK ASTORIA is the fourth Theatre to be opened in the chain originally visualized by the Directorate two years ago. The Theatres already opened include the Brixton Astoria (August, 1929); the Old Kent Road Astoria (February, 1930; and the Streatham Astoria (June, 1930). To open four Theatres of the magnitude of the Astorias in just over twelve months is a record of which the Directorate are justifiably proud, while the success of the Theatres already opened is confirmation that the policy originally laid down and carried out was a wise one. The policy of the Directorate is to provide: ( 1 ) Theatres of Unequalled Size and Magnificence in suburban areas. Entertainment unexcelled by even West End of London Houses. Music by picked Orchestras and Grand Organs. Comfort, Courtesy, and Service. Strictly suburban prices. THE ASTORIAS have been acknowledged by the Press of this country — and America — to be real super Theatres presenting super Entertainment in Pictures, Vaudeville, Stage Production, and Music, and the ideals which have proved so successful and acceptable will be continued. The Directorate and Management are sincere in their endeavours to raise the standard of Entertainment and Entertaining, and the maintenance of their declared policy is accepted as a duty to the public they serve.
