I was born into the motion picture business and for 50 years I have worked in it. I know it's nature, its fascination and its fickleness. Thousands of pictures I have seen with or without audience. This has brought home to me that experience a film in company with others is totally different from watching it alone or with just a few others. Your experience is enriched when you notice around you people laughing and jumping in their seats watching a good farce or sitting quiet and enthralled perhaps even crushed by a great dramatic performance. I feel happy on behalf of the director and the actors when I see the effects on the audience of a scene whose quality I doubted when I saw the picture alone. This has led me to the conviction that the Television-Screen is no danger to the cinema. The cinema performance will survive and even prosper as entertainment and as good business - and last but not least as an independent art. But our audience is critical when they go out. They want a beautiful theatre, comfortable chairs, a pleasant atmosphere, perfect technical equipment, air-conditioning and so forth. This is why I have made a point of developing attractive cinemas in which our audience feel at ease.

For I love the film and want it to live.

Preben Philipsen

Good news! Traditional Danish good sense has survived - along with the jolly Dane's appreciation of a few of the other good thinks in life. Such as the livelier arts - especially the art of the film. For some time the situation admittedly looked pretty grim and somewhat tight. Tight! That was just about the word. Just picture the jolly Dane, forever stuck in his chair in front of his television. Tension mounted. It was a real cliff-hanger, not only for the regular cinema theatres, restaurants, night clubs and other gay places of entertainment. Would the jolly Dane ever come galloping along to the rescue? Return to the fold, bringing new prosperity with him? Or would he die of TV-constipation in his own home, far from the world of communal artistic experience?

Okay, so perhaps the TV-habit wasn't the sole contributory factor. Maybe the weather was always lousy, and maybe car manufacturers had neglected to make their seats comfortable enough for whatever car seats used to be comfortable for. And of course you've got to bear in mind that the Dane is traditionally a home-loving animal. He just adores those little four walls of his, and does most of his entertaining at home too. All told, it seemed it would require pretty drastic measures if the jolly fellow were going to be brought back out into the nice clean air and into the cinemas again. But such measures were taken. Especially by the Preben Philipsen / Rialto group of cinema theatres that sprang up as soon as the 1972 repeal of an outdated Film Act allowed them to do so.

There are nine theatres in this group so far, all new and shining, or at any rate rate renewed and shining, equipped with the finest technical facilities and the most luxurious decor and seating arrangements. Just study the following pages for details of theses theatres, which at the same time are nine easy lessons on how to get a Dane unstuck from his living-room sofa and back where the brightest entertainment of our day and age is being shown.

Within less than six months, these nine cinema theatres are doing better business than any other combination of nine theatres that has ever existed in Denmark - where, don't forget, films and the film-going habbit both happened to be born.

The Rialto Cinema Group Denmark

 
In all the Rialto Group's theatres, great emphasis is placed on providing attractive facilities that will make cinemagoers feel thoroughly comfortable and at their ease.

Colors, soft carpets, attractive lighting and friendly service and ushers all contribute to create a welcoming atmosphere.

While you are waiting you can fill in time at the disc bar listening to (and buying, if you like) the latest gramophone records or tapes.

You can "just manage" to finish watching a television programme before the film starts.

You can meet your friends in good time at the bar - or continue the evening after the show.

No harm in having "a little dance" before or after the performance.

A corner with soft lighting and music, comfortable chairs and "a spot of something" on the table - and the mood is all set for a nice cosy chat.

Modern grill-bar Japanese style. The food is prepared right in front of where you are sitting.
