Select Electric Theatre

The Kinematograph Year Book listings, upon which most of the information on this site seems to be based (although unfortunately not in itself an entirely reliable source when used singly) would include information supplied by exhibitors that would often ‘enhance’ or over exaggerate seating capacities. I am not sure if this was the case with this cinema, but it certainly never seated, or even had a combined seating and standing capacity of 600 as stated. The initial capacity of 400 given above would have included permitted standing space.
