The Metro closed in 1972 with a month long season of classic movies.

After reading an article in Marquee it appears this theatre was designed by Thomas Lamb.

The Metro Theatre had a Wurlitzer 3Manual/13Ranks theatre pipe organ installed. It was opened by organist Charles Parkhurst who came over from London, UK. He remained organist at the Metro, Johannesburg for 5 years until he went over to the new Metro Cinema that had been opened in Durban, Natal, SA in 1937.
