Summary edit

Description
English: In 1912 John Griffin announced he would be building a theatre on the site of the Cecil hotel building. The building opened in September of 1913 and had cost $125,000. It would hold 1,700. It was 66 feet wide and 140 feet deep and had a state of the art movie projection and screen unique to Hamilton. It showed high class movies as well as live performances and featured an amateur night. However, by June of 1915 the Spectator was reporting the theatre was about to be taken over by other interests. Although they stated they would continue it as a theatre that didn’t happen as the Alexandra Arcade took over the space.
