English term or phrase: movie house
What is the menaing of "movie house." I thought it means "movie theatre" but i think it doesn't suit the context:

"She was so ambitious. She would have liked to act on the theatre. She played the piano at the movie house, and that was as far as she got"

Thanks.

Movie house is usually translated as سينما but as it is illogic for anyone to play piano in the cinema, therefore I guessed it will be قاعات الانتظار
