Crossword Genius

Photograph friend in front of superb cinema (7,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

picture palace

'cinema' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'photograph friend in front of superb' is the wordplay.
'photograph' becomes 'picture'.
'friend' becomes 'pal' (pal is a kind of friend).
'in front of' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'superb' becomes 'ace' (ace can informally mean very good).
'picture'+'pal'+'ace'='PICTURE PALACE'

(Other definitions for picture palace that I've seen before include "The Louvre" , "cinema?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
