The earliest form of cinema was to be found in the travelling fairs, which toured up and down the country in the first part of the twentieth century.
By 1914, the cinema changed its name to The Empire and due to the shortage of feature films with the start of WW1, often included more live acts or 'turns' as they were called, to pad out the daily programme.
Most cinemas nationally employed their own orchestras to play to the silent films, the Scala followed suite, and often the films were accompanied by a live dance band to keep the audience entertained.

For the past 21 years, Empire has focused its energies throughout its markets in Atlantic Canada, encompassing the provinces of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland, a zone known as the Maritimes.
Empire theatres are in markets "from 350,000 people down," he adds, with "the majority in much smaller markets." However, filling theatre seats is usually not a problem; instead, Fraser indicates that the circuit's localization has helped the chain to develop close ties with the community.
The expansion of new facilities, the renovation of existing facilities and the continual training of employees are Empire's strategies to achieve this end.
