On the 21st of November 1896, Carl Hertz demonstrated his Cinematograph films on the very site where
His Majesty’s Theatre would later be built. Designed by architect William Wolf, the grand Edwardian styled

virtually every type of entertainment has been presented there – and that tradi�on con�nues today.
