Leith Amateur Opera Company (instituted 17 April 1907), "The Mikado" produced at the Gaiety Theatre, Tuesday to Saturday 9th to 13th March 1909. Nellie Currie, Contralto.
In October 1886 the United Presbyterian Church in the Kirkgate moved to new premises and the old church building was bought by a Mr Edward Edgar who ran it as a Music Hall. This was relatively short-lived as the building was burned down in March 1888. In 1889 Mr Edgar leased the site to H. E. Moss who built his new Princess Theatre on the same plot. The opening was on 30th December 1889 and Moss ran it for ten years until the lease was taken over by Julian Malvern. The Theatre was then reconstructed and it reopened as the New Gaiety Theatre on the 30th October 1899.
