  • From Trocadero to Troxy: a Tradition Returns Transcript
    From Trocadero to Troxy: A tradition returns Transcript Date: Thursday, 9 June 2011 - 6:00PM Location: Barnard's Inn Hall 9 June 2011 From Trocadero to Troxy: A tradition returns John Abson and Richard HILLS FRCO Introduction (John Abson) The Hyams family Our story starts with three brothers - Phil, Sid and Mick Hyams. The eldest, Phil, started in the trade by working as a teenager in the new Popular cinema in the Commercial Road, Stepney. The new Popular was partly financed by the brothers' father, Hyam Hyams, a Russian immigrant and nephew of the founders of the well-known London chain of Grodzinski's bakeries. Phil was joined by his brother Sid and built up a small circuit that included the Canterbury in Westminster Bridge Road. In 1927 the Hyams converted a vast tram shed into their first super cinema: the 2,700 seat Broadway at Stratford, east London. This was also the Hyams first contact with the Wurlitzer pipe organ; the Broadway was equipped with one of this country’s early examples and the experience no doubt inspired what today would be called ‘brand loyalty’, as this story tells. Thanks to a versatile and gifted architect, George Coles, the Broadway auditorium looked palatial and Coles went on to design all the cinemas the Hyams initiated. Coles was credited with the designs for over 80 cinemas, including many for Oscar Deutsch’s Odeon chain. In 1928, the Hyams sold their circuit to the newly formed Gaumont British combine, then started afresh as H&G Kinemas in partnership with Major A.J.

The first test came at Christmas 1975 with the first known London production of the I 7Lh century opera "Alceste" by Lully. Among the restncttons imposed by theatres on those who work within, lack of space must be very common, but at the Centre it is the opposite which becomes a problem, for the auditorium has been turned into one of the largest performing areas in England, 100 ft deep and I 00-ft at its widest point with 60-ft to the roof.
