Open since at least 1925 when a Robert-Morton organ was installed, this theatre is still listed as open in the 1951 Film Daily Yearbook.
The former theater has been converted into a school.

The Congress is now the Clara Muhammmad School. The building is still standing. Function should be changed to school.
