Is there a world for the occasion when theatres, that usually put on live acts, screened a film instead?
I've got a ticket for Tommy at the Capitol Theatre, Cardiff and I remember going to see The Song Remains The Same at Oxford New Theatre.

"world or word" ?
In either case I think not. There are probably hundreds if not thousands of venues which have put on multiple different types of events?

Film showing in venues was fluid. Specific Cinemas come the age of sound though would have specialist sound systems, (and probably not a mixing deck but then many cinemas had live performances) and ideally better fire protection than a theatre might have.

True in fact a great example has popped into my head, The Beatles first big gig in Bournemouth (1963) was a week run at the Gaumont Cinema on Westover Road. When they returned they used a proper concert hall, The Winter Gardens.

The Odeon Cinema Hammersmith did the Beatles January 1965, 10/- (50p) the only time I got to see them.


The Beck theatre Hayes, Tivoli theatre Wimborne shows films.

Definitely "World".
It can't be 'Live Music' as although tickets were sold exclusively for that performance the artist were obviously not playing live.
'Cinema' is for the film itself not individual showings so it will probably have to be 'Memorabilia'.
