The Orpheum Theatre was a venue erected on the corner of Jeppe Street and Joubert Street in Johannesburg and opened in December 1911. . In 1919 it was converted into a double-storey.
The first film with synchronised sound, Don Juan, was shown there.
Apparently it was initially converted to a department store named Anstley's, before being demolished in the 1935 and the Anstley’s Building erected in its place.
