| The Lockerbie Cinema Co., ran the Rex. The founders of the
company knew little about how to run a cinema and so approached Green's
of Glasgow to do so on their behalf. Green's declined, declaring that
their main interest was in running large cinemas. However, their
architect John Fairweather offered guidance on an appropriate site, the
capacity to aim for and the capitalisation required. Fairweather was
employed to design the building and Green's undertook the film bookings
for the cinema. Informtion from the Lockerbie Cinema Co., Directors' Minute Book, April 1932- August 1938.
