The auditorium had a fairly narrow proscenium which was fine for standard widescreen films (1.66 or 1.75) but not for Scope movies; these had to be shown with top down masking.

What is perhaps surprising is that the building still stands today. It is not of any architectural importance and indeed looks rather bleak (as seen in the photos). This one stands while many more architectural significant cinemas have been demolished.
