It's interesting that you call the Granby by that name.
Officially it had been the Prince's since 1932, but it had been the Granby before that, and the Granby Hall before it was converted into a cinema in 1912.[/QUOTE]

I never thought about it - I think I just called it what others did. I suppose it shows the persistence of group labels. (Another example would be the Egerton Street 'Grapes' being known as 'Peter Kavanagh's' until it was called 'Peter Kavanagh's' and was known as 'The Grapes'.)
The Granby cinema was awful. The stuffing was out of a lot of the seats. You couldn't hear the picture for the crowd noises. There were also columns supporting the balcony and if you got stuck in a seat behind them you could see nothing.
