Prince Edward Theatre (Sydney)

Prince Edward Theatre was a picture theatre on Elizabeth and Castlereagh streets, Sydney, erected for the Carroll-Musgrove partnership of Harry G. Musgrove (died 27 April 1951) and brothers Edward and Dan Carroll) with financial backing from George Marlow in 1923.

[1] Architects were Robertson & Marks, with technical assistance from Thomas W. Lamb, the American picture theatre designer.

A Wurlitzer theatre organ, which could be used to either augment or replace the orchestra, was opened in February 1925 with Eddie Horton (born 1893)[b] at the console.

[4] The Prince Edward was regarded as unique in its elaborate sophistication until 1928, when the Regent, Capitol and State theatres opened or were refurbished in competition.

The final film shown was a re-run of the 1956 classic, War and Peace.
