FROM AN ELECTRIC THEATRE TO A CINEMA<br />

Once upon a time there were movie theatres in the downtown<br />

of Pärnu where one could forget all the worries <strong>and</strong> duties, where<br />

one could live a life of those who were in action <strong>and</strong> in love on<br />

the screen. Fortunately, in the most cases, a story had a happy or<br />

even a very happy end. Unfortunately it doesn’t work so well in<br />

real life. The history of movie theatres proved it in Pärnu.<br />

Electric Theatre Ideal, one of the first cinemas in Pärnu<br />

was opened in 1913. The theatre is on the right side of the<br />

postcard.<br />

The new larger cinema Pallas was erected instead of Ideal<br />

after World War I. The rats continued to run over the shoes<br />

of the audience.<br />

Cinema Capitol was the first fundamental cinema in town. It<br />

was destroyed during WW II.<br />

The movie theatre Kiir was a former carrage house of Gr<strong>and</strong><br />

Hotel. The functional façade of stable <strong>and</strong> carrage house was<br />

reconstructed according to drawings by city architect Olev<br />

Siinmaa in 1930-s. When Estonia regained independence<br />

in 1990-s, the cinema was closed. Today the building is<br />

functioning as the night club Sugar.<br />

There is no movie theatre in the downtown of Pärnu<br />

anymore.<br />

“ELEKTRITEATRIST” TÕELISE KINONI<br />

Olid ajad, mil Pärnu südalinnas sai käia kinos, sai unustada<br />

oma mured ja kohustused ning elada ekraanil tegutsevate ning<br />

armastavate inimeste elu. Õnneks lõppes kinolinal pea alati kõik<br />

hästi või isegi väga hästi. Samuti aga ei pruugi minna reaalelus.<br />

Pärnu kinode ajalugu tõestab seda väidet.<br />

“Elektriteater Ideal”, üks esimesi kinosid, mis tegutses juba<br />

1913. aastal. Kino asus Ringi tänava ääres, “Ideali” leiab<br />

postkaardi paremast servast. Vasakus servas paistab trükikoja<br />

sein ning taamal seisab Nikolai kirik.<br />

Pärast I ilmasõda ehitati Ideali kohale kinoteater Pallas. Ka siin<br />

olevat rotid seansi ajal üle vaatajate kingade jooksnud.<br />

Kino Capitol ehitati 1920-ndate aastate alguses Ringi ning<br />

Hospidali tänava nurgale ja oli esimene kapitaalne kinoteater<br />

südalinnas. Hävis II Maailmasõja ajal.<br />

Kino Kiir asus Vee tänava ääres. Pärnu linnaarhitekti Olev<br />

Siinmaa jooniste järgi ehitati endisele Gr<strong>and</strong> Hotelli tõllakuurile<br />

funktsionalistlik fassaad. Eesti taasiseseisvumisel see südalinna<br />

ainus kino lõpetas tegevuse ning seisis kaua tühjalt. Nüüd<br />

tegutseb siin ööklubi Sugar.<br />

Tänane seis - kaasaegset kinoteatrit Pärnus pole.<br />
