Summary

Film projections in the twenties experienced a fundamental growth, which determined their conversion into a massive show business. It was a phenomenon that was not limited to large cities but that also materialised in medium-sized towns, like Portugalete. The Ideal Cinema was an exponent of this increase in projections. It first opened on December 25th1919. Its programme, formed by movies, varieties and theatrical shows, was very popular from the very beginning, as is attested by the average of 120.000 spectators a year reached during the twenties.
