Background
History
The cinema was constructed between 1935 and 1936 to a symmetrical, modernist, art deco design by Harry Weedon and Cecil Clavering, the latter having joined the former's practice, as an assistant, in 1933. It was commissioned as an independent cinema, and was due to be called "The Beacon", and had 968 seats in the stalls and 324 in the circle. The first film was The Lives of a Bengal Lancer, starring Gary Cooper. Clavering, inspired by the Lichtburg cinema in Berlin, originally intended that these fins would be topped by a searchlight. The cinema closed on 1 December 1962, the final film being To Hell and Back, starring Audie Murphy.
