    Yes I can remember going to Oorgaum Hall Picture House virtually once a week.

    I can remember most of those films and going to see them.

    The only film that I was unable to see was "Helen of Troy" due to the large crwds that cued to see it.

    I think the film that I did not enjoy was "Macbeth" which we went with the KGF School

    Hello,I was reading your writeup on Ooregaum Hall,and this brought back a lot of memories.
    I used to live in KGF (Top Line) and i worked in the electrical dept which was opp the cinema in the late 1950's,my girl friend now my wife and myself never missed a change over of a movie i think this was on a wednesday of each week i may be wrong,my father installed the first cinemascope movie projecter in this cinema and the first cinemascope movie that was shown was A Star is born and the hall was packed out.A lot of good times were had at this hall and i still tell my children all that went on in KGF.Now that i have some photos they can see the sad old place.
