One of the loveliest theatres built in Sydney, it had played Ben Hur, complete with a dangerous, racing treadmill and backdrop for the chariot race, and was then closed for the outbreak of bubonic plague in Sydney. It was rebuilt and re-opened by 1903, only to be demolished about thirty years later for a Woolworths.
