Dominion Cinema
18 Newbattle Terrace, Morningside
The B-listed
Dominion is a
wonderful and
doubly rare survivor: it is both an independent cinema, and a suburban
cinema.
Opened in January 1938, much of the original decoration by architect T
Bowhill Gibson survives, including the
central ceiling 'spine' in Screen 1, that draws the eyes towards the
screen. Twinned in 1972, the original circle was extended fully forward
to form Screen 1. An additional screen was added in 1980 in space
above the foyer. Now with four screens and a restaurant, the Dominion
focuses on providing comfort and 'gold standard' service, including
reclining armchairs and complimentary drinks to entice customers, a
policy that seems to be working well. Long may it continue.
Screen 1 has 419 seats, 2 has 206 seats, 3 has 47 seats, and 4 has 60
seats.
