In 1921 the regional theatre firm of Reid, Yemm and Hayes decided to build a showplace that would be the “flagship” of their circuit, which would have the largest seating capacity and stage facility in the area.

Search Hints

To improve search results when more than two words are used in the search box, enclosing them in quotes will return only the exact phrase. i.e. "Tom Jones"

Names were often spelled differently back in time due to illiteracy and transcription errors. Consider all possible spellings of a last name. For instance, Maynard could also be Manard, Menard, Maynerd or Mainard.

Also, try leaving trailing letters off of names that have variations and keep the letters that tend to stay the same.
