At one point, the theatre was converted to a bowling alley. It was resurrected as the Golden Princess Theatre and Golden Star showing chinese films. Sat dark for a few years and was resurrected as the Rio.
As seen in the photo above, the Rio was once part of the Odeon chain during the 1940s and the early 1950s.
