Summary[edit]

Description

The Electric Cinema opened in Station Street in 1909, showing its first silent film on 27 December of that year, and is now the oldest working cinema in the country. It has had many incarnations in the past e.g. Select Cinema, Tatler News Theatre, The Jacey, The Classic and The Tivoli.

As a student in Birmingham in the 1970s I remember it as The Jacey. In those days it was rather seedy and not an inviting place to visit.

In 2004 the cinema was refurbished and put back to its 1930s Art Deco look.
