The Queens had a discrete, classical façade with a semi-domed entrance canopy on four columns. It opened on Saturday 13 December 1913 with a 2000ft film called ‘Caste’.
The first ‘sound’ show was 14 July 1930: Mon to Wed ‘The Deserrt Song’; Thurs to Sat ‘The Singing Fool’.
The cinema closed for two weeks, from 9 June 1934 for redecorating, reseating and installing “the latest appliances”.
In July 1956, alterations to the projection room involved a one week closure. It reopened with a 1950 Audie Murphy film and a 1955 film with no-one of note; neither in CinemaScope.
The final show was Saturday 28 May 1960. Demolition came in 1969.
