the coronet is a fine cinema . having worked there as a relief projectionist up till late 2003 a dream show for any projectionist who cared about showmanship .full manual presentaion vic 8 mech with dolby digital philips/kinoton platter. cp500 processor screen 1 with festoon curtains . the upper circle not used as rake too steep .but could make a special events cinema in its own right .
screen 2 vic 9 dolby sr with philips.kinoton platter again festoon curtains . super clean in both auditoriums . a credit to the cleaning staff. owned at the time by mr and mrs graham dowdon .once head of the rank organisation .i have quite a few pics of this beautifull cinema . and was very lucky to have been videoed by fred fullerton who visited the cinema with camcorder in hand .
the potential for the coronet was never fully realised .as 70mm would have made a great option with bigger screen of course .
the 388 seats is correct loss of seats was beacause better quality seats fitted in stalls with super leg room .in the right hands and money spent it could be the best cinema in london .as the acoustics are superb . with no break thru from screen 1 to 2
