Founded as '''[[African Theatres Trust]]''' in 1913 by [[I.W. Schlesinger]]  and A.H. Stodel ([[Harry Stodel]]), this empire eventually grew to encompass the cinema industry as well and was renamed [[African Consolidated Theatres]]. Soon the company became  central to the development of professional theatre and film in the country, and remained so till its demise. Between 1920 and 1960 virtually no-one could play the cities without the support and involvement of African Consolidated Theatres, or at least utilizing their facilities.
