Description

This is a black and white photo of the festival committee delegation arriving at the Savoy in 1974, during the mayoralty of Pearse Wyse. The photo is taken from the top of the steps in the marble foyer of the Savoy and looks down at the crowd milling below. The photo recognises the Lord Mayor in conversation with the festival director Dermot Breen, cigarette in hand. Behind the Mayor we recognise the low-sized profile of former Lord Mayor Gus Healy, Dick Burke and Sean Cunningham. Behind them a crowd congregate at the doors of the cinema and we can sense the excitement of the occasion.
