In 1932, Robinson & Keefe made further improvements, not as ‘Emergency exit, new lavatories in basement &c. for Grafton cinema (work includes rebuilding of front wall at Prost’s, No. 73)’.
Author John Banville wrote in his memoir “Time Pieces” about visiting this cinema, the atmosphere of the place, and the amatory activity that took place in the rear stalls.
Was the Grafton Cinema not further up on the opposite side of the street, just before the junction with Chatham Row? I passed it recently and it is being redeveloped as a high end retail store.
