RobertR; unfortunately, the two links you posted above are not the Las Palmas Theatre. Here is a photograph of the Las Palmas that I took in January 2005: http://flickr.com/photos/kencta/368927936/
The Palace Opera House opened in 1911 and operated until 1915. It was demolished and a new theatre known as Glickman’s Palace Theatre was built on the site which opened in 1919. It was re-named Globe Theatre in 1935 and closed in 1948.
I photographed the Kirk Douglas Theatre in January 2005, soon after it opened. This is a night-time view with all the neon fully operational (the letters C U L V E R flash, so I had several attempts at photographing them all lit together): http://www.flickr.com/photos/kencta/368517965/
I photographed the former Marcal/World Theatre in January 2005, in use as the Q-topia nightclub…..not much to show it was a movie theatre now, either externally or internally: http://www.flickr.com/photos/kencta/368437948/

From December 1979 it was operated by Star Cinemas and it closed on 7th September 1983 with Ben Kingsley in “Ghandi” and Dustin Hoffman in “Tootsie”.
It was taken over by independent exhibitor Romaine Hart and added to her ‘Screen on….'cinemas after being gutted and redesigned. It re-opened as the Screen on Baker Street on 3rd February 1984 with Linda Griffiths in “Lianna” in the 95 seat Number 1 cinema and “James Stewart in "Rear Window” in the 100 seat number 2 screen.
