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.

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.

Diskoteket
i Kinopalæet var der kun i ret kort tid, det var oprindelig meningen at der skulle være en slags natklub efter sidste aftenforestilling, men det blev aldrig rigtig til noget.

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.
