The Futurist Picture House. Located on Peter Street in 1921. Employer: Louis Bernard Vereyken

"In early 1921 the Gaiety Theatre had been purchased by the owners of The Futurist cinema and were planning to re-open it as a cinema later in the year".

His employer was L. B. Vereycken , his record is also on FindMyPast in the 1921 census- its worth looking at his record to get a fuller picture

and as Ashtone says Johannes Coenen worked at the Futurist Cinema there were possibly more than one in the chain which would explain the 'no fixed place of work' as the musicians may have played at various cinemas at different times.
