I have just found that this originally opened in around 1911 as the Electric Cinema. Within days it had been re-named Olympia Cinema. It became the Standard Cinema from 1912 and had a ‘straight’ pipe organ to acompany the silent films.

The Standard Cinema was equipped with a Christie 2Manual/8Ranks theatre organ in 1927. It was opened by Charles Willis.
