Located in Cheadle Hulme, Cheshire. Designed by Stockport based architect Herbert McLellan, the Elysian Cinema was opened to an invited audience on 22nd November 1930 with “Behind the Curtain” and variety acts on the stage. It opened to the public on 24th November 1930 with Bebe Daniels in “Rio Rita”. Seating was provided in stalls and circle levels. It was equipped with a Western Electric(WE) sound system.
