There is a December 1938 photograph taken at night (re-opening night perhaps?) on page 57 of the book ‘The Amber Valley Gazeteer of Greater London’s Suburban Cinemas 1946-1986’ by Malcolm Webb Published 1986. It shows the ‘new’ Art Deco style frontage designed by George Coles outlined in neon tube lighting with a ‘State’ vertical name sign. I have never seen photographs of the original 1910 designed building.
I believe the Grand Opera House has been damaged by IRA bombs on at least two occasions which resulted in its closure. Each time it wasa restored and re-opened. The bombs were not aimed at the theatre itself but occured in the close vicinity.
A great view of the auditorium prior to tripling & bingo use, plus thumbnail views of the exterior as is and as will possibly be!: http://flickr.com/photos/kencta/1636995131/
The 1943 edition of Film Daily Yearbook lists the Cameo Theatre as (Closed) and operated by Paramount Pictures Inc. through their subsidairy E.J. Sparks.
The Cameo Theatre must have only been open for 12 to 18 months!
The Cheatles (a Beatles tribute band) play on the stage of the Gaumont State after the final session of Mecca Bingo (closing night Sunday 19th August 2007). Stick with it as there are shots of the auditorium towards the end: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9awA7ZDlQss
Rather strangely, the Washington Theatre is listed in the 1941 and 1943 editions of Film Daly Yearbook with a 350 seating capacity, located at 121 Boggs Avenue (close enough to the address given above for the Glade Theatre). The 1950 edition of FDY gives the Glade Theatre location as 348 Boggs Avenue (381 seats).
I wonder if there was a re-numbering of the street? and also a change of name?
Looking at various pages on the internet regarding the Terrace Theatre, Tinonee, NSW it seems to be a 120 years old building, which has many antique artifacts on display. It screens old newreels and some modern movies. Several web sites mention it is closed and will re-open in January 2007. Whether this happened I am not sure. It seems to be a sort of tourist novelty for the small town it is located in and even goes by the name Terrace Cinema Museum.
On the other hand the Screen Room is a regular public cinema, screening new first run movies concurrent with the local multiplexes.
