Seating was provided for 869 in the stalls and 648 in the circle. It was taken over by Excelsior Super Cinemas in October 1933, as part of the Medway Cinemas circuit.

In March 1949, they were taken over by the Granada Theatres Ltd. chain and it was re-named Granada from 3rd October 1949. The Granada usually played the Gaumont circuit release.
