I don’t know if this is correct or not, but on one map it is up from Roebuck Street and up Harmony Road and on the third street (the first one that ends in a dead end)??? Sure could use an address.
This cinema is believed to have closed on 31 December 2011 with Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol. It was built of coral stone in 1948 and opened in July 1956 with ‘A Man Called Peter’ by the Ali family from Trinidad. I suspect owing to the gap of 8 years this referred to the reopening. It was described as an 1100-seater.
Another opening date has been found of December 2, 1949 tying in with the date it was built. Manager Maurice Jones welcomed guests who arrived for the opening function. Ghost Protocol is not a separate film but the fourth instalment of Mission Impossible.
