Metro Cinema

Having conducted an extensive trawl of the advertising columns of the Belfast Telegraph, from the opening to the closure of this cinema, I can find absolutely no evidence that the Metro ever changed its name to the Rex. It opened as the Metro, it continued as the Metro and when it closed on 29th March 1961, it was still the Metro. By 10th February 1962 it had become the New Metro Ballroom, a short-lived venture.(KYB 1958 shows the owners as Sandro Theatres, which was a Supreme Cinemas company.)
