I was wrong - it was the Rivoli. Denmark Road, Chorlton o Medlock, not the \Regent. The Regent was on Princess Road, Fallowfield.Yes, I remember the Capitol - it was a big place, quite luxurious I suppose.
Ah, the names, suffused with the warm glow of nostalgia......
The Casino and the Trocadero in Rusho;me
The Kingsway (on Kingsawy...)
The Lido in Burnage
The Scala in Withington
The Palatine, West Didsbury
The Coronation (I think) in Northenden
The Regent (in the back streets of Hulme)
The Electra, Cheadle
The Elysian, Cheadle Hulme
The Tatton, Gatley. You couldn;t move for bloody picture palaces then......
Mystical place when I was a young kid.I miss the Roxy in Failsworth. It's a petrol station now - though there is a bit of the original wall remaining around the back.
