The Kings Cross Theatre was located at the corner of Darlinghurst Road and Victoria Street, Sydney, between 1916 and 1966.

[1] The Theatre was managed by Waddigton's and boasted 2000 seats, a new ventilation system and beautifully decorated stage.

[4] In August 1928 the theatre was renovated to increase its seating capacity and install a Wurlitzer orchestral organ.

[5] The addition of the Grand Wurlitzer was of some importance at the time as Waddington's engaged Joseph Wayne from America to play the organ augmented with an orchestra.

Contrary to its name, in the 1950s this 298-seat upstairs joint, managed by K F E Cook, showed feature films of the vintage variety.
