The Electric Cinema was a news theatre for some years, showing cartoons and news reels and it was patronised by people who were "in transit" waiting for trains etc, then it was the Jacey and now the Electric which is possibly the first name it was opened under.

Would this be the Cinema just down from the Rock Cinema that you mentioned it was called The Saltley Picture palace.

THE MAYFAIR CINEMA.
