The Picture Palace is still listed in the 1966 KYB as being operated by Star Cinemas of Leeds, seating 649 with a Western Electric sound system. I suspect that the 1964 bingo advertising was Cine-Bingo, where both cinema and bingo operated in the same premises on a shared basis. Star often did this to test the waters before committing to bingo full-time.

A cutting seen in Huddersfield states the bingo club began in 1964.
