To elaborate on the cinema detail, the original atmospheric interior as built by Inglis took the form of an Andalusian courtyard, with the fake 3-D buildings on the side having tiled roof eaves and lanterns, rather like his
Ritz Cambuslang from 1930 and his
Muirend Toledo from 1934.
This section through the Anniesland Boulevard/Vogue should give you a fair idea of how it looked:
And here's a slightly less washed out copy of the exterior shot above - taken after a change of ownership and name:
Inglis sold up in 1938 after becoming disillusioned with his cinemas, the same year he built the Beresford Hotel.
The Boulevard then passsed to the Singleton chain, who renamed it Vogue. They also had the elaborate interior modernised (i.e. stripped!) along more traditional lines due to the acoustic difficulties the plaster buildings caused with the arrival of sound! Seating capacity was also increased to 1,470, from the original 1,140.
After closure in June 1959, a sign on the facade advised that the cinema was closed for decoration, but it was never to re-open.
