Apollo

Located in the Saint-Georges district in the north of the city centre, adjacent to the famous Casino de Paris Theatre (which still operates). The Apollo Theatre was originally a 1,500-seat live theatre which opened in 1907. It specialized in productions of Vieneese operettas.

It became a cinema in June 1932 with Boris Karloff in “Frankenstein”. In the 1930’s it screened Warner Bros. films and continued as a cinema for a while, before returning to live theatre use and closing in 1940 when the German occupation began.

In 1947 it returned to cinema use but closed on 29th March 1950 with Yvonne De Carlo in “Casbah”. Closed for a while, it reopened as a music hall & theatre, which finally closed in 1958. By 1965 it had been demolished to build an office block.
