The Kosmorama in Paris was established by the Norwegian Halfdan Nobel Roede (1877- 1963) who entered the cinema-business in 1911 in Oslo. He probably sold out in 1914 due to the building of Paladsteateret, a prestige cinema theater in Oslo. Until the municipal of Oslo took over all private cinemas in 1926, he was the largest cinema owner in Oslo. He was involved in other cultural activities, as a composer, theater manager and art collector. Nobel Roede decorated his cinemas with paintings of Edward Munch and others.
