The cinema was certainly open in 1924 when D.P/ Griffiths was Propreitor and Resident Manager, running it on 2 shows per night with 2 changes of programjme per week at prices of 5d, 8d and 1/–. In 1938 prices had risen to 6d to 1/– for the 480 seats. Programmes were still changed twice per week. By 1951 seating had been reduced to 400 seats priced at 4d to 1/9d. and shows were now once per day with 2 shows on Monday and Saturday. Mr Griffiths was still in charge but bookings were made in Cardiff.
