His Majesty's Theatre

I was assistant manager at His Majesty’s in Johannesburg in 1972. I remember it fondly., Robbie the General Manager had been there many years and was himself a colourful and memorable personality. Mr Small was the Circuit Controller whose brother Lou, by coincidence was in a similar position with Rank in Great Britain where I had come from. Those pictures (link above)show what a fine building it was . I went from there to manage the Regent . I haven’t been back to South Africa since 1972 but I get a wave of sadness to think its been replaced by a chain store. I’m lost for words. Terry Sharkey
