Soft cover. Condizione: Very Good. First Edition. Pp.12. Souvenir brochure issued for the opening of the New Adelphi Triplex cinema. Previously the Adelphi was one enormous cinema with over 2300 seats. It was only able to show one film at a time. Cinema 1 opening was Kelly's Heroes starring Clint Eastwood and Telly Savalas. For the opening night Cinema 2 had John Wayne in Chisum and Cinema 3 had Yves Montand in Z. Loosely inserted are two complimentary tickets for Kelly's Heroes for the gala opening. The Adelphi first opened on 12 January 1939 with Errol Flynn in The Adventures of Robin Hood. While primarily a cinema, the Adelphi featured live acts as well, most notably the only appearance in Dublin by the Beatles on 7 November 1963. The Rolling Stones appeared there in September 1965 and Bob Dylan on 5 May 1966. Other performers who appeared at the Adelphi included the Beach Boys, Marlene Dietrich, Louis Armstrong, Diana Ross, and Roy Orbison. In October 1970, the cinema was triplexed, and later, in 1973 became a quad. The Adelphi Cinema was closed on 30 November 1995, screening High Society and Gigi, with no admission charged. Unfortunately, this once-glamorous cinema was demolished except for part of its facade, and a parking garage was built in its place. Cars now drive in and out of what was once the Adelphi's main entrance.
