Everyman Cinema

Everyman Cinema

The Everyman, in Hampstead, London, England was first opened as a cinema on 26 December 1933.

The building was first opened as the Hampstead Drill Hall and Assembly Rooms in the 1880s. Later it was transformed into a theatre, the "Everyman Theatre", which opened in 1920 and passed through many changes of fortune. Some of the greatest of modern plays were performed on its stage and many actors now famous made their bow at the Everyman Theatre. Noel Coward's "The Vortex" was first performed there.

Sir Gerald du Maurier presided at the opening of the Everyman and the first programme consisted of "Le Million", "Turbulent Timber", a Mack Sennett comedy, a Disney cartoon and Paramount News.
