Coventry Hippodrome / Apollo / Theatre

This nonsense of course refers to the size of the film, not the screen. Your common or garden home cine camera used 8mm film, so this 70mm is considerably wider and produces a larger image on screen. Of course, you all knew that!

October 69 made me smile. David Bowie as a support act to Humble Pie.

During the 60's & 70's there were a few shows "ON ICE". Anyone know how they managed that?

This is 1955, doesn't exactly explain how they did it. Another thing done about the same time was "Dancing Waters".

Mick, Bowie did well even to get on this tour - he'd only charted for the first time the previous month, and Humble Pie were acknowledged as one of the first "supergroups". The Coventry gig (Bowie's first, by the way) was the first night of the tour - the previous week he'd appeared at a folk club in Bromley. This site gives every Bowie performance in the 1950s and 1960s.

Coventry Theatre, Hales Street?

Wouldn't have thought so

Defo not Cov Theatre. The Long Night with Henry Fonda was a 1947 film so a possible date.

So was "They won't believe me".

There was a Prince of Wales Picture House at 369 Stoney Stanton Road but I think that it's not a likely match.

I think this is the building. This was the Prince's cinema in Nuneaton which later became the Tatler. It was closed in 1948 for refurbishment which was the year that the films being advertised were being shown. Looking either side of the name board Prince's are two carvings of heads either side and the board is shaped the same. There are also pillars in the same place. It also looks as if there are windows above the name as the Nuneaton picture has, not sure if you can see a building through them or if it is a reflection. The building has been replaced with a more modern one but the one on the left of it on the picture is still there. 12 Market Place, Nuneaton.
