This was a short lived cinema in an existing
hall, open 1912 as Glass's Glorious Bright Pictures.
It was ran by the manager, Herbert Glass who advertised showings twice
nightly at " Peoples Popular Prices". |

The building has been completely modernised and is now a work shop... |

| It is situated in Broad Street near the
junction of Orr Street and in fact nearly backs onto the Olympia Cinema at
Bridgeton Cross.. |

Interesting footnote : directly opposite the
old picture hall building, where the trees are, there used to be a
tenement building and my Granny's sister Rubina Lewis (nee Rankin) lived
there with her husband John and family.
