Apparently, the contact for The Esquire Theatre on the same street was also the same Mavis. btw, twinning Risque as downstairs I and upstairs II (“all male”) appears to have started in 1981.
Opened several months earlier than “Dec. 11th, 1969”, the earliest ad is from July 11th, 1969, promoting a double-bill of Come Dream with Me and Strictly Beaver. I very much like to know who owned and / or managed it at the beginning and circa 1970. Classified ads wanting a projector note “phone Mavis”.
Opened with “Cat & mouse” and “Parade # 8”.
This opened with one screen on December 11th, 1969. Ad in photo section.
Risque II is closed, and has been for a few years. As the sign in the photo above shows, it is now the Manifest, a cafe, cocktail bar, and art gallery
What a fabulously appropriate name for an adult theatre.
