Thanks for asking.
I'd love to see photos of the long-gone flea-pits, like the Princes in Granby Street, the Lytton in Lytton Street, the Coliseum in Paddington, the Kings Hall in Oakfield Road (the Gaumont was built on the site), the St James (before the front was rebuilt), the Savoy in West Derby Road, and the Picture Playhouse in Smithdown Road.
And the Cabbage Hall before it was altered for the LFC club.
So far I haven't seen any photos of any of the above which were all open by the time of WW1.
Later cinemas which have remained elusive on photos are the Walton Vale Picture House, the Popular in Netherfield Road North, the Burlington in Vauxhall Road, the West Derby Picture House, and the original front of the Ritz in Utting Avenue.
I've got photos of most of the others which I don't mind sharing.
There are other cinemas, like the Everton Palace, where the only known photo is very poor.
Central Library have a good collection of most of the 1930s cinemas.
