The Westgarth Theatre was taken over by the Cosmopolitan Motion Pictures chain in November 1966 and went over to screening Greek language films, which continued until 1987. It was then taken over by independent art house circuit Valhalla, who re-named it the Valhalla Cinema. It became a popular cinema to see cult classics and silent films.
In 1996 Valhalla terminated their lease and it reverted back to the Yiannoudes family who had operated it since ‘going Greek’ in 1966. It went back to its Westgarth Theatre name and continued to operate on a diet of first-run and art house releases.
In the summer of 2006 the art house chain: Palace Cinemas took over the building and they proceeded to sub-divide the auditorium, leaving the stalls intact, but making the circle into two small screens.
