Despite the fact that architect Edward Eber (1880-1953) left a rich and highly diversified legacy of outstanding works, his output has not been the subject of a historical analysis yet. Also the facts concerning his life were little known or uncertain. Eber was a top Warsaw architect of the first half of the 20th century. His work evolved from 19th century traditions burdened with historicism through grandiose tenement houses betraying the spirit of Berlin modernism to elegant functionalism of the late 1930s. 'Napoleon' Cinema at Plac Trzech Krzyzy and the adjacent complex of residential buildings, his last Warsaw project to be implemented, embodied all the latest technical solutions of those times. Victimized due to his Jewish roots, Eber left Warsaw together with his wife Alicja and went into hiding in Opatija. He died in Rome in 1953.

The uniqueness and character of the Praga district in Warsaw are determined by a number of features, unchanged for centuries. Owing to its location the district remained in an unsymmetrical configuration vis-a-vis the City on the left bank of the Vistula, and in an outright opposition expressed in the social composition of the residents, the origin of the population (a large percentage of Russians and Jews), an increased crime rate, and specificity consisting of an intentional, frequently cultivated and stressed distinction compared to other parts of the capital. This phenomenon remains discernible up to this day: Praga, together with the fast disappearing but still existing Rózycki Bazaar, the domes of the Russian Orthodox church of St. Mary Magdalene, or the ludic atmosphere around the Zoo, is a separate world. The social climate and brogue of the local residents appear to hold their own, challenged by the process of transforming, right in front of our eyes, old factories into a cultural Mecca of the capital, thus offering the district a chance for promotion, which will either overwhelm it or became the reason why Praga will lose its natural ambiance without gaining a new image in its stead.
