The building opened in 1929 on Hunter Street as a picture theatre. It is decorated in Spanish baroque style with a marble staircase, terrazzo balcony and chandeliers. Prior to the theatre's opening the Victoria Theatre on Perkins Street in the city's East End had been the premier venue for entertainment and also the city's largest and most opulent auditorium.
The theatre was designed by renowned 1920s architect Henry Eli White and opened by the Premier of New South Wales, Thomas Bavin.
