Article creation edit

As suggested during the discussion on the possible suppression of the redirect that this page previously was (to newsreel), I created this article, with a "see also" pointing to newsreel. --Alþykkr (talk) 22:19, 15 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

Joseph Cohen born 22nd June 1889 in Birmingham - died 22nd June1980 Birmingham UK. He pioneered the provincial News Theatres throughout the UK and had several in the West End of London. Later, most of these became cartoon and comedy cinemas when television became popular. These cinemas were known as the 'News Theatre', 'Tatler', 'Princes' and 'Monseigneur', but later were renamed the 'Jacey'. Together with his son George Cohen they also pioneered the introduction of the specialised Continental Cinemas, known as the 'Cinephone' showing the best of continental feature films throughout the UK. http://www.britishpathe.com/video/cinema-celebrates-21st-birthday http://www.britishpathe.com/video/new-cinephone-opened-aka-the-cinephone-cinema-birm http://www.britishpathe.com/video/special-trailer-jacey-cinemas http://www.jncohen.net/JaceyGroup/JC-Press.htm http://www.jncohen.net/JaceyGroup/JaceyCinemasLtd.htm John Neville Cohen (talk) 11:30, 18 December 2015 (UTC)Reply

One other fact is that under Joseph Cohen's control Jacey Cinemas Ltd filmed local news events themselves to add to the program.
