The was not quite as good as the Scala in Birmingham, which was a similar design but did not have the exit adjacent to screen left. There were stage lights for the screen curtains but these were not used latterly as an economy measure. There were coloured lamps above the wall curtains which were supposed to give a multi-coloured wash, but were so close they gave a striped appearance. It was considered to be the best cinema in Derby. It was equipped with Italian, Cinemeccanica Victoria 8 duel-gauge projectors, so that it could show 70mm films. Usually the Odeon, Nottingham, had these “Road Show” films first, so that Derby did not get as much benefit as it might. The sound and picture quality were always excellent
There was much regret when it closed when the former Gaumont / Odeon, London Road was tripled.
