The first film exhibitors introduced film to Madras as a kind of European entertainment using the same local venues as the European variety circuit. Their shows conformed to a variety format and they frequently mixed films with other kinds of live performances. In addition to situating early touring cinema shows within the local, European entertainment circuits of Madras city, the second strand of my argument is that we need to rethink the mobility of early cinema in India.

There is much about the rotting wood and crumbling brick in my body to suggest that I am barely alive. But I have lived many lives and certainly seen more than you…” While driving down AnnaSalai, past the many iconic structures that line it, how many times have you glanced at The Bharat Insurance Building, opposite Higginbothams?
