Pavilion Cinema

Although it is stated here that the Pavilion was taken back by Thomas Thompson in 1935, it was still advertising as a Gaumont cinema well after that date. For instance in December 1940, which is the latest date that I have been able to look at for the moment, it was included in the Gaumont block advert along with the Gaumont and Hippodrome. It seems to have been the practise for the Gaumont to play the circuit release, the Hippodrome played alternative programmes, while the Pavilion played split weeks of programmes that had already been shown in Middlesbrough, rather like the Electric York.
