Comments from Ian - Cinema Treasures

It was operating as a cinema at this point (showing Silver Streak released in 1976), with no bingo signage, so I am not sure if the above date is wrong or if it reopened for films after bingo? Anyone with a definitive answer

Ian commented about Futurist Theatre on Jun 12, 2009 at 7:06 am

Scarborough Council have the results of yet another consultancy (who did not bother to contact the lessee of the Futurist) which recommends putting all entertainments into the Spa Grand Hall and closing the Futurist.

Some photos taken in June 2009 of the auditorium here:–

Ian commented about Tower Cinema on Apr 29, 2009 at 4:27 am

The building has reopened again as a club and the long disputed unauthorised removal of the two domes has been unsatisfactorily rectified with moulded copies lacking the mosaic detail placed on the corner towers.

By April 2009 the upstairs bar, occupying at least part of the cinema area has closed and the upper area is for sale, bingo and other businesses continue on the ground floor.

Ian commented about Odeon Luxe London Leicester Square on Apr 19, 2009 at 4:44 am

The Odeon seems to be used more and more as a giant billboard for specific films – the red does not suit it! The red plastic coating is for the film “The Boat That Rocked”
