In this article I would like to outline a picture of the provincial cinema audience, which emerges from the reviews and feature articles by Stefania Heymanowa-Majewska, published in the “Słowo Ludu” in the 50s and in the first half of the 60s of the 20th century, that is, when this excellent pre-war columnist was employed on a full-time basis in the Kielce newspaper. I am interested in finding answers to the questions: What was – according to Heymanowa – the specifics of the Kielce audience? And what was the role of a film critic in a medium-sized (although the provincial one) city in the province?
