OK so you have got the first part right, it's a cinema. What we need to know now is which cinema is it and where is/was it located? If it helps this photo was taken in 1928.

Well done Astonian in just 3 minutes, it is The Futurist

There is no fooling you people is there? Perhaps somebody could tell me as I wasn't around at the time, is that the revamped main entrance in John Bright St or is it the rear entrance in Hill St?

John Bright Street, Phil. It's a "Gentleman's club" now.
Here's a recent photo by Ian Grundy, from his photo site
