Looking through some of the postcards I have collected of
theaters over the years, this cinema in Pelhřimov seems very remote and far
away. I have never visited this small city, and I am not sure I will. But the
theater, which still stands and is now known as the Lubomír Lipský Theater (Divadlo
Lubomíra Lipského), looks like many of the buildings in Prague. The postcard
is dated 1959, during the Communist era, just prior to Prague Spring, which brought
a flourishing of Czech Cinema that I love so much. Thinking about what people
in central Czechoslovakia may have been watching, what the experience of
attending a cinema during that era was like, is nearly unfathomable to me.
Location: Solní 1814, 393 01 Pelhřimov, Czechia
