Ken Roe commented about Majestic Theatre on Oct 12, 2008 at 11:47 am

I would say the Martin Avenue address is the owner’s address. The Majestic is definately located in Malanda, its listed in the Film Weekly-Motion Picture Directory 1951-52. There was a cinema in Mereeba called the Capitol Theatre (600 seats) listed in the same edition. By 1994, there was no cinema operating in Mereeba.
