The place had a long previous history in the 19th Century, when it was used for variety shows as the Teatro Nazionale, before being transformed after 1929 into a movie theatre.

Numerous flyers for this theatre from the 1930s survive and reveal a variety of very good programming of Italian and non-Italian films. A number of them have been posted. Most of the admission prices were between one and three liras, depending on the location. Galleria (balcony) seats were more expensive than orchestra seats; that was true of most cinemas in Italy.

The film showings in their cinema were probably meant to raise funds for their work with the deaf.
