Globe Cinema, Nairobi

 

This appears to be the only video we have of the Globe Cinema screen, stage and auditorium (first 1.25min). You can also see the stadium style seating at 45 sec and 1.18 min!! Stadium style seating in the stalls was introduced in Canada after 2000 (or so)! Metropole Cinema in Nairobi had something similar. So these cinemas were far ahead of their time!
