Weatherspoons usually knocks the back wall out. alas.. But as long as they do not demolish the rest of the building. There is some chance in the future to turn it into a Live theatre.. As The Walsall area lacks anywhere decent to perform in..

Unusual Is that Roland Satchwell was an active Director until 1945, when a New company was formed to take over the Avion and buy the Dale Willenhall from the Estate of Norah Tiler.. A reminder Satchwell designed the Alexandra Theatre Birmingham… which not being a Cinema is not listed here

I found the following information for an Avion Super Cinema:

AVION SUPER CINEMA Anchor Road (BTH) Opened 1938 – Props., Avion Cinemas (Aldridge) Ltd. Architect: Roland Satchwell. 1.000 seats. Prices 6d. to 1s. 6d. Continuous from 2 p.m. daily. Films hooked at Hall. Occasional Variety. Stage, 30ft. x 15ft.; two dressing-rooms. Phone Aldridge 52312. Station, Aldridge, L.M.S. Closed 1967. Bingo since.

Since most of the information matches the description above, I assume that the architect was Roland Satchwell.
