It initially operated for a few months as the Chaplin Cinema which had 230 seats, then in 1923 it was taken over by new operators and was renamed Princes Cinema. The seating capacity was reduced to 180. It was equipped with an AWH sound system in the early-1930’s. The Princes Cinema was closed in March 1938 with Gracie Fields in “The Show Must Go On”.
