BITS AND BOBS LOCAL LITERATURE If you haven’t been to the new Depot cinema yet, we urge you to go. You’ll soon be back: we reckon it’s the best thing that’s happened round here for years. Funny to think that 83 years ago Lewesians were similarly excited about an equally hi-tech state-of-the-art cinema opening its doors for the first time. The story of the opening of the Odeon, on Cliffe High Street, is told in Screen Stories (£8.99), by Ruth Thomson, alongside everything else you might care to know about the history of cinema in Lewes. Subtitled ‘Lewes Goes to the Pictures’ it’s the fruit of years of research and tells of Lewes’ first cinema, the short-lived County Theatre, opened in 1913, and its successor, the De Luxe on School Hill, which soon belied its name, becoming a notorious flea pit. It’s a fine read, and beautifully illustrated: you can pick up a copy at the Depot, the Tourist Office or from leweshistory.org. Unicorn are taking us back in time, too, with three publications from the 30s and 40s reprinted in conjunction with the Ravilious & Co exhibition at the Towner (all £10). Fifty-four Conceits, by Martin Armstrong, is a collection of epigrams and epitaphs illustrated with Ravilious wood-engravings. The Pigeon Ace (1943) and The Little White Bear (1945) are children’s picture books, set during WW2, written and illustrated by Ravilious’ Royal College of Art colleague and good pal Enid Marx, whose work is also included in the Towner exhibition. (For an interview with Neil Gower, well known to Viva readers and the graphic artist responsible for the lavish images in the new Little, Brown book As Kingfishers Catch Fire, see pg 43.)
