Grafton Cinema
The Grafton Cinema was a film theatre on Grafton Street in Dublin, Ireland which operated for over sixty years.
==Early years==
Known originally as the Grafton Picture House, the cinema opened on Easter Monday, 11 April 1911, at 72 Grafton Street.〔''The Irish Times'', 15 April 1911, p. 4〕 It was designed by architect, Richard Francis Caulfield Orpen, brother of painter, William Orpen.〔(''Dictionary of Irish Architects 1720-1940'' ), retrieved 30 December, 2010〕 Continuous performances ran from 12.00 to 10.30pm each day. Admission was one shilling for adults; children were charged half-price.〔 Among the films shown during its first year was ''The Crusaders'', which depicted the medieval conquest of Jerusalem by European armies.〔''Irish Independent'', 8 August 1911, p. 8〕 Dublin received its first presentation of "talking pictures" in April 1914 when Thomas Edison's Kinetophone technology was demonstrated at the Grafton.〔''The Irish Times'', 21 April 1914, p. 5〕 In late 1913 or early 1914, nationalists disrupted the programme on several occasions due to the inclusion of a British Army recruitment film.〔Kevin Rockett, Luke Gibbons, John Hill, ''Cinema and Ireland'' (Croom Helm Ltd., 1987), pp. 32-3〕
Robert Flaherty's documentary film, ''Man of Aran'', received its Irish première at the Grafton on 6 May 1934. Éamon de Valera, President of the Executive Council of the Irish Free State attended, as well as various dignitaries from politics and the arts.〔''The Irish Times'', "Man of Aran", 7 May, 1934〕
