Sydney’s Century Theatre was converted from the much larger Crystal Palace Theatre which opened 24th June 1912. The Depression was to see the theatre close down in 1932. After years of closure, a new cinema was built inside the shell.
The new cinema was opened on 25th January 1938 with Paul Muni in “The Life of Emile Zola” and was called Hoyts Century Theatre.
So named as the opening coincided with the Sesqui-Centenary celebrations being held in Sydney that year.
