This cinema was inaugurated in 1930 by one of the founders of movie producers — Bimal Pal. Along with him were Nilmani De, Sailajananda Mukhopadhyay and Bankim Mukhopadhyay. Chandrabati Devi’s husband, Bimal, used to edit a magazine and produce films. He now entered the exhibition business. During the inauguration, this 634-seater had bamboo fencing and used to be called Show House. In 1935, it got a concrete structure and was renamed as Talkie Showhouse. This cinema was referred to as the Metro of north Kolkata since it mainly screened Hollywood movies and popular European films. Bengali and Hindi movies were screened later on. The cinema shut down on January 23, 2020. Today the ground floor is used as the showroom for a toy store.
