Some lines about cinema (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

odeon

'cinema' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'some lines about' is the wordplay.
'some lines' becomes 'ode' (lines of poetry).
'about' becomes 'on' (as in a book 'on' a certain topic).
'ode'+'on'='ODEON'

(Other definitions for odeon that I've seen before include "Hal" , "Theatre of ancient Rome - picture house" , "Classical Greek concert hall" , "dramas here" , "Ancient Greek building for music" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
