This is one of the most complete and elaborate surviving examples of an immediately post-Cinematograph Act cinema. It is also a particularly charming example of its now rare kind. It is included here, however, to acknowledge what seems to have been a very short life as a cine-variety. A shallow stage was inserted within a year of its first opening.
