The basement ballroom is adjacent to the still vacant lot where the Paramount/Odeon Cinema was located. It is in the basement of the apartment block named Paramount Court, and as Doolally states ‘is a lap dancing club, named Spearmint Rhino’.
The 1950 edition of Film Daily Yearbook lists the Mandan Theater at another address 212 Main Street W. The seating capacity is given as 576. So the Capitol Theatre is not the Mandan Theatre.

In the booklet ‘Ninety Years of Cinema in Cardiff’ by Brian Hornsey (published by Fuchiaprint, Stamford) he states….‘The Coliseum became one of the first bingo halls in the Cardiff area in around 1962, and thus films began to be shown part-time. Films ran on until January 1986. Bingo ran into the 1980’s….’
Thanks for the corrections on the opening film titles.
