The Princess had little alcoves at the back of the balcony(I don't think the Empire had them). They seemed nice and dark and private(I only realised years later if you were sat near the front and turned round the film would light up the alcove!).
I remember going home many a time and my folks saying 'Was it a good picture?' and me thinking 'What the hell was the picture?'
You didn't do that sort of thing in the Odeon!
