King’s Pictures 15 Fitzgerald Street E, Geraldton, WA
Photo - Tanya Henkel
In 1911, the King’s Picture Theatre was built by Dick Cardellini to the rear of Geraldton Town Lot 1 fronting Fitzgerald Street.
The first film is believed to have been screened in 1913 by Daniel Marsh who apparently operated the first electricity plant in Geraldton as well as a second picture theatre called Queen’s Pictures.
Following the First World War the King’s Picture Theatre enterprise was run by a syndicate of Geraldton businessmen and renamed the Soldiers' Picture Theatre because the profits were used to assist in the rehabilitation of returned First World War servicemen.
