Picture theatre considers members vaccine mandate (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cinema

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'picture theatre' is the definition.
(I know that picture theatre can be written as cinema)

'considers members vaccine mandate' is the wordplay.
'CINEMA' is hidden in amongst the letters.
However, I am uncertain how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cinema that I've seen before include "Place of entertainment" , "Motion pictures" , "Movie theatre" , "multiplex, perhaps" , "Screening" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
