Default Blue Flash Cinemas

I came across this item about the "Blue Flash Cinemas", which were formed by and for ex members of 4th Royal Sussex, the TA battalion for West Sussex. They seem to be named after a WW1 formation sign.

"Led by Captain Rupert Middleton MC the men of the regiment formed the Blue Flash Company and the Blue Flash Cinemas to provide employment to the many unemployed bandsmen in the Sussex area. The name blue flash comes from the blue flash on the regimental uniform. Then in 1923 they built the Capitol Theatre, which stood in the area now occupied by Marks and Spencer. (in Horsham).
