Cinema in Piennes/France

I saw 1917 and They shall not grown old and Un long dimanche de fiançailles in the cinema. This postcard reminds me of these films. 

Piennes is a commune in the Meurthe-et-Moselle department in north-eastern France, about 40 km northeast of Verdun. The cinema was used by German army, later it was a hospital during the war. I don't know if it was used as a cinema before and after the war. The building is still standing (look at this interesting website www.morthomme.com.)

The postcard was sent in October 1916 by military mail from France to Germany. Arthur wrote to his wife Frieda in Chemnitz. Among other things, he asked her sending him the shaving kit. He didn't write anything about a hospital or a cinema.

The address book for Chemnitz 1915 finds a baker Mr. A. M. Fischer on Münchner Strasse 10.  And also the 1920 address book. And there's still a bakery today at this address.
