Also known as the Electric Picture Palace, sharing the space of the Marina Theatre. Uncertain whether it was before or after it was named Excelsior Picturedrome.

To add to the original Marina Theatre facts: the building was officially opened as the Granville Marina Music Hall by Earl Sydney on 5th July 1877. The hall had a superficial area of 4,557 square feet and was capable of seating over 1,000 people.

I forgot to add that the hall was also known as the Supreme Ballroom in the 1960’s hosting many famous names!
