Cinema fitted out at the corner of the impasse du Cheval to plans by the architect Gaston Ide in 1925-1926, in the Art Deco style. The building, entirely occupied by an auditorium seating about 775 with a horseshoe balcony, housed a cabaret-dance hall in the basement, created in 1932 by Moonens with the painter Ramah. The almost blind facade, covered in imitation stone, is strictly compartmentalised to meet advertising needs and adorned with moulded decoration. Since 1980 the interior has been renovated and divided into two halls.
